My Red Shoes (2013)

Overview

In 1979, two 20-year-old Iranian Marxists, Kaveh and Fariba, are students of architecture and metallurgy respectively. The Iranian Revolution turns their country and their ideals of revolution and liberty upside down. Combining gripping personal accounts, scenes of daily life and metaphysical digressions, My Red Shoes is a film about the changes after a private and political catastrophe, shot entirely in the director’s family home.
