Animated film adaptation of Marjane Satrapi's bestselling autobiographical graphic novel set during the Islamic revolution in Iran.

As she grows up, however, Marjane realises that the new fundamentalist rulers are just as brutal as their predecessors.

Worried at her inability to stay silent where injustice is concerned, her parents send Marjane to Austria to study for a better life.

Alone in a strange land, Marjane encounters suspicion and prejudice but gradually comes to be accepted.

When high school is over, though, she finds herself feeling terribly homesick and makes the decision to return to her family in the increasingly repressive Iran...
