It took two years for Mehran Tamadon to persuade the four supporters of the Iranian regime to risk taking part in an experiment with him. Now he receives them as guests at his family’s country house to try out something that does not exist in Iran: a pluralistic society. As the women disappear into the guest rooms, the men discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a secular society, the veil, abortion, freedom of the press… The guests not merely outnumber the filmmaker, who is critical of the regime, but are also masters of rhetoric. Again and again, they twist his words and use them against him. His secular society, they argue, is just as ideological as their religious one. The mood is contentious, but there’s also a great deal of communal laughter, prayer and cooking. In the end, the attempt to create a social utopia fails as there are simply too many issues that are non-negotiable. But does that mean that the experiment itself has failed? After all, for a brief time, differing lifestyles and opinions managed to co-exist. A dialogue took place. For the filmmaker, however, there’ll be a high price to pay. (Berlinale 2014)

1979年霍梅尼在伊朗掌权是现代激进伊斯兰的第一次重大胜利。在这部三集纪录片中，当年的一些关键人物会向您讲述这其中的故事。 　　美国前总统卡特第一次在电视面前讲述那次使其在选举中失去总统职位的事件。伊朗扣押了在德黑兰的美国大使馆人员，这总共的444天一点一点的夺去了卡特的时间和能量。卡特总统的最后任期被绝望的试图营救人质计划所笼罩。那些和他一起在白宫中试图营救人质，如何谈判，最终怀疑自己能否救回人质的人们，他们都讲述了自己在其中的故事。其他参与者包括前副总统沃尔特·蒙代尔，前副国务卿克里斯多夫以及前国家安全顾问兹比格涅夫·布热津斯基。 　　另一面的故事由伊朗高层讲述：霍梅尼的顾问，大阿亚图拉蒙塔泽里；他的第一位外交部长，亚兹迪；其美国谈判代表，萨迪克·塔巴塔巴伊；伊朗革命卫队创立者之一，穆赫辛。

本片以一个伊朗离婚法庭为缩影，简单介绍了伊朗国内的司法、宗教和生活，特别是婚姻生活的境况。伊朗虽然在宗教上任然相对保守，但国家司法却尽可能的保护妇女的权益，国家立法机构和宗教权力之间虽然界限模糊，但对于具体案例而言，司法审判基本出于宗教权力之外。本片也从侧面展现伊朗司法制度。 　　本片其中一个因离婚争得自由的女性，回到学校，立志成为一名律师。

A response to the failure of the American mass media to provide the public with relevant and accurate information about the standoff between the US and Iran, as happened before with the lead up to the invasion of Iraq. We have heard that Iran is a nuclear menace in defiance of the international community, bent on "wiping Israel off the map", supporting terrorism, and unwilling to negotiate. This documentary disputes these claims as they are presented to us and puts them in the context of present and historical US imperialism and hypocrisy with respect to Iran. It looks at the struggle for democracy inside Iran, the consequences of the current escalation and the potential US and/or Israeli attack, and suggests some alternatives to consider.

关于伊朗新浪潮电影一代的纪录片，法国ARTE出品DVD。 　　Today Iranian cinema is one of the most highly regarded national cinemas in the world, regularly winning festival awards and critical acclaim for films which combine remarkable artistry and social relevance.
