»Între revoluții« von Vlad Petri mit anschließendem Festivalausklang

In the organizer's words:

In the 1970s, Iranian Zahra studies medicine at the University of Bucharest. There she forms a deep friendship with her fellow student Maria. When the Iranian revolution overthrew the Shah in 1979, Zahra returned to her country in the hope of political change. She and Maria wrote letters to each other for decades. The correspondence shows two women separated by two revolutions. They report on protests and general unrest in both countries, on the oppression of women and how this affects them. With follow-up discussion in English.
