  What is it like to live in Tehran today, when you’re 20, a lesbian, a rebel, and a lover of parties and rock music?
  Raya is a young Iranian girl studying at a private college for girls. Born into a middle-class intellectual family, she stands out among the children of the country’s economic and political elite. A good student, intelligent and well-educated, she is unable to fit into this codified world where young girls aspire only to marry a wealthy young man, have children and spend as much money as possible. She feels different. In rebellion against herself and, above all, against the entire system that governs her country, Raya defies all prohibitions: alcohol, drugs, sex, rock music and, above all, she refuses to get married. In Iran, homosexuality, alcohol and drugs are forbidden practices that can lead to capital punishment. Will Raya have to decide to flee the country she loves so much to avoid giving in and betraying herself?
