Synopsis:
During the weeklong Ashura festival in the ancient city of
Shiraz, the older generation performs cathartic rituals while
the city's youth are left to their own devices. They spend this
time cruising the public squares, hoping for a sideways glance
or a passed note from a potential lover, while avoiding the
patrolling morality police. Caught between traditions thousands
of years old and a 21st century perspective informed by
satellite TV and the internet, they struggle to find a place for
romance amid the strict moral codes of their country. In this
engaging documentary, Iranians, young and old, married and
single, speak candidly about love, marriage, and sex, revealing
the truth about what it s like to seek and find love in modern
Iran.
