Synopsis
Produced and directed by Mahmood Karimi Hakak, opens yet another page of the book of Iranians perplexity. Eight Iranian youth, born outside their native country, hardly speaking any Persian, explain their socio-cultural differences with their American peers and friends. This film, made in collaboration with an Iranian anthropologist and an Iranian Sociologist, is aimed at exploring the socio- cultural and political divide that exists between the first and second generation Iranians living in diaspora. The young men and women of this documentary film are forced to carry the heavy burden of culture and tradition of their parents while adapting to the life style prevalent in the United States. They have gathered here to share their stories and help each other cope with the difficulties of such adjustments.
