SYNOPSIS
Marjane is a young nine year old growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Through his eyes we see the hopes of its people are broken when the fundamentalists seized power. Clever and fearless, Marjane outsmarts the "guardians social "and discovers punk, ABBA and Iron Maiden. But when her uncle is senselessly executed and as bombs fall around Tehran in the Iran-Iraq war, the daily fear that permeates life in Iran is palpable. As it grows, Marjane's boldness causes her parents worry about their safety. And so, at age fourteen, they make the difficult decision to send her to school in Austria. Vulnerable and alone in a strange land, she endures the typical ordeals of a teenager . In addition, Marjane has to combat being equated with religious fundamentalism and extremism of those who had to flee.
