The film is directed by Nahid Persson Sarvestani and is a co-production between Swedish Television Documentary and the production company Real Reel.
Thirty years after the Swedish-Iranian filmmaker Nahid Persson Sarvestani participated in the revolution that overthrew the monarchy and the Shah of Iran, she returned to their homeland. The success of her previous film, the internationally acclaimed and award-winning Prostitution behind the veil, aroused strong feelings in the Iranian regime and Nahid was immediately placed under house arrest.
She was subjected to harsh interrogation and forced to sign a document in which she promised never to make films about his homeland Iran.
But back home in Sweden again Nahid decided to make a new movie. This time she turns her focus to Farah Diba – The Shah of Iran’s wife. Against all odds, she realizes that they have more in common than either of them could have foreseen.
