About the film
What it’s about
Seti loves music and singing, but Iranian law forbids women from performing in public. She stages a personal protest by singing on the street, where passersby become her audience. Her act grows into a movement, and she becomes an idol for a generation refusing to live under political oppression.
What hooks you
Soheil Beiraghi directs Sarvin Zabetian as Seti and Amir Jadidi as Bebin. The film won the Special Jury Prize at Karlovy Vary in 2025. It draws on themes of censorship, underground music, and women's rights in Iranian society.
Who it’s for
It is a good pick for those who like stories of individual defiance against unjust systems, and for viewers drawn to Iranian social dramas that explore freedom and resistance through a personal lens.
