When the Islamic morality police carry out arbitrary raids in Tehran and fundamentalists take control of the universities, former literature professor Azar Nafisi secretly gathers six of her most dedicated students in the mid-1990s to read forbidden Western classics. Like the heroines of Nabokov, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry James, or Jane Austen, the women dare to dream, hope, and love in Nafisi’s living room.
«Reading Lolita in Tehran», directed by Israeli filmmaker Eran Riklis, is the adaptation of Azar Nafisi’s autobiographical bestseller. The film portrays the remarkable resilience of women in revolutionary Iran and the complex everyday challenges faced when people’s freedom is restricted politically, morally, and personally. Lead actress Golshifteh Farahani impressively conveys the emotional depth of the story on screen.
