Synopsis

Three sisters. Through the intimate, our memories, short moments of life, and our three experiences, With this film I try to paint a fragmented portrait of this exiled Iranian youth. Water, that of the Seine, the city by night, Paris and Tehran, images intersect, as do our voices. From absence to acceptance, the idea is to expand a variation around a feeling.Faeze Karimpour
