My Iranian Paradise (2008)

One of the film's directors grew up in Persia. Her father was a Danish engineer, and her mother survivor from Stalin's Gulag camps. This Western family's life is reflected in Iran's history of the 1930s and until the oil begins to split the world and the Islamic Revolution breaks out. The film nuances enemy images and political generalizations and with the eyes of ordinary people we experience how fates from one day to another change as politics and rulers change face. By understanding the past, today's Iran is revealed.
