An electrifying and starkly original feature length animation about a young Iranian girl coming of age, based on Marjane Satrapi’s bestselling graphic novel. Young Marjane is sassy and outspoken, and has an unlikely penchant for heavy metal music. Concerned for her future, her parents send her to Europe where adapting to western culture reveals its own battle of the political and the personal.

“An emotionally engaging, brilliantly written and superbly animated drama that demands to be seen.” View London
