Director Rakhshan Bani-Etemad, one of Iran's most respected feminist filmmakers, explores two groups of women, one old and one young, to contrast divergent political attitudes across the generation gap. At one end of this spectrum is the director's daughter and a group of her friends, on the other end is a group of forty-eight older women running for office.
