Persepolis

Synopsis:
An animated film based on her best-selling autobiographical memoir, Marjane Satrapi comes of age during the Islamic Revolution of the '70s in Iran. Confused by the new restrictions on her freedom, Marjane finds ways to rebel against the new social order. As she gets older and even more rebelious, Marjane's parents have to make the uncomfortable decision to send their daughter to boarding school in Austria where she struggles to fit in.
