Exactly forty years have passed since the monarchy of the Shah of Iran was toppled and the Islamic Republic declared. In the 1980s Ayatollah Khomeini, the so-called religious leader, had tens of thousands of political opponents arrested, persecuted and murdered. Among them the filmmakers parents who, after years in prison, managed to seek asylum in Germany. The family never talked about their persecution and imprisonment.
