A poignant coming-of-age story of a precocious and outspoken young Iranian girl that begins during the Islamic revolution.

It is through the eyes of precocious and outspoken nine-year-old Marjane that we see a people's hopes dashed as fundamentalists take power- forcing the veil on women and imprisoning thousands. Clever and fearless, she outsmarts the "social guardians," and discovers punk, ABBA and Iron Maiden. Yet when her uncle is senselessly executed, and as bombs fall around Tehran in the Iran-Iraq war, the daily fear that permeates life in Iran is palpable.
