AnimationAnimeDocumentaryDramaWar96 min
Marjane “Marji” Satrapi grows up in 1970s Iran, where her idealistic family greets the fall of the Shah only to watch the revolution harden into a new religious tyranny. Through Marji’s childhood and adolescence, the film follows daily life under censorship, war, and the policing of women, while her curiosity pulls her toward punk, pop music, and open defiance. Voices from Chiara Mastroianni and Catherine Deneuve shape the family at the story’s center as Marji is pushed between Tehran and Europe, trying to hold onto herself while politics, exile, and growing up keep redefining what home means.
