The film released in 2007 is based on an autobiographical comic. It is about a girl growing up during the years of the Iranian revolution, who ends up emigrating to France. The film won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. Due to sexual content, selected scenes were banned in Iran and the entire movie was banned in Lebanon for being offensive to Islam and Iran.The movie is in black and white, it shows beautiful images and tells a true story, portrayed in a very touching and funny way. Definitely worth watching!
