Setting

Tehran, 1983. A city paralysed by fear, its people silenced. And the beating heart of the regime is Evin prison.

Three Women

Yet even within its walls three women dare to dream of a life beyond tyranny.

Azar gives birth to her daughter in captivity. One day the guards simply take her child from her.

Parisa yearns for her tiny son, growing up a few miles away but completely out of reach.

Firoozeh, broken by cruelty, has turned her back on everything she was fighting for.

Hope

But even in the most desolate places hope can take root . . .
