Eleven-year-old Misha dreams of a bright, eventful and struggling life, just like in the movies. But there are ordinary people of few words walking around: how can something special happen to them? An ardent fan of the TV series "Killer" accidentally meets his idol's car on the street. Thanks to a new acquaintance, the hero gets into the studio, becomes a participant in the real events of a fictional world - and is forced to accept that childhood is over.

As Islamic morality squads stage arbitrary raids in Tehran and as fundamentalists seize hold of the universities, Azar Nafisi, an inspired teacher, secretly gathers six of her most committed female students to read forbidden western classics. Unaccustomed to being asked to speak their minds, they soon removed their veils, their stories intertwining with the novels they read: just like the heroines of Nabokov, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry James or Jane Austen, the women in Nafisi’s living room dare to dream, hope and love as we experience the complexity of the lives of individuals facing political, moral and personal siege.
