Unwelcome in Tehran

Mina, the director, is a girl from Shiraz who gets married in order to move to Tehran. Influenced by her own life, she decides to make a documentary about the girls nationwide who, like Azar, move to Tehran, the capital, to start an independent life away from their families’ watchful eyes and restrictions. The film is about Mina and Azar’s constant struggle to understand why Iranian families and Iranian society have such difficulty in accepting an independent life for a single woman.
