7 women (2009)

"Thirty years after the revolution which caused the departure of many Iranians, including of my family to France, I returned to Iran for a trip across the country, where, through my meetings with the women who remained there, I wished to capture the complexity of the arrangements of this people with the daily reality of their country. During the time of a film, like a colorful Persian carpet weaving made up of words, facts and gestures of women from different backgrounds, take shape the complex patterns of an ancestral art of living which continues to adapt to the realities of its society." -Sara Rastegar
