Half a Cup of Sand and Sky

It's 1977, and the anti-shah protests at Tehran University are intensifying. Amineh will soon have her degree in Persian literature, but unlike her peers, she does not want to fight for a say in her country's future. Her thoughts are on the literature of another era and on her past of rose harvests and Sufi poetry readings under the desert sky. A chance encounter with a nuclear disarmament activist will thrust her into a life she didn't ask for and didn't want. Nobody wanted the tyranny that is quickly turning worse than the tyranny it replaced. But maybe Amineh has been looking at her life all wrong. Maybe the thing she is seeking is not in the past at all.
