Filmmaker and actress Maryam Zaree is on a quest to find out the violent circumstances surrounding her birth inside one of the most notorious political prisons in the world. In the 1980's Ayatollah Khomeni, the so-called religious leader, had tens of thousands of political opponents arrested, persecuted and murdered. Among them the filmmaker's parents who, after years in prison, managed to seek asylum in Germany. The family never talked about their persecution and imprisonment. Director Maryam Zaree faces the decades-long silence and explores her own questions about the place and the circumstances of her birth, tackling the complexities of trauma and denial.
