Content

Teheran in October 2000. A year ago, Moravid (which, translated, means “pearl”), was a man. Since her sex change she has lived in complete isolation in her tiny apartment. Now, for the first time, she dons the chador in order to leave her apartment – as a woman. What made Moravid decide to continue living as a woman in Iran? Her response challenges the clichés which are so prevalent in the West. This film provides a portrait of a country full of contradictions.
