1979: The “Islamic Revolution” sweeps across Iran. The East-German chemist Beate (37) follows her husband Omid (44) – an Iranian dissident living in the German Democratic Republic – to his home country, filled with love and hope. However, the initial sense of optimism vanishes, as life for Beate and her daughter Sarah (8) turns into hell. With despotism, violence, and religious doctrines on the rise, Iran steadily becomes a ruthless dictatorship, and Beate und Omid must make a fateful decision. Based on true events.
