Synopsis

With rhythmic fluidity, Saba’s body moves to the music. Dancing is what she lives for, how she expresses herself – yet she is not free to do so in her own country. In a film dancing the line between documentary and fiction, a moving portrait emerges of a generation of young Iranians hemmed in by the Islamic republic’s rigid rules. When Saba rebels in a poetic act of defiance, the boundaries between fiction and reality finally dissolve. [73 BERLINALE]
