My Tehran for Sale is a groundbreaking film, revealing fresh truths behind the facade of contemporary Iran. Marzieh is an actress living in Tehran where, like most young people, she is forced to lead a secret life to express her art. At an underage rave party she meets Saman, now an Australian citizen, who offers a way out--until things go terribly wrong. Is Australia a place of hope, or simply another regime whose aim is to freeze the soul? shot entirely on location in Tehran, with the assistance of Bahman Ghobadi (Turtles can Fly) and post-producedin Adelaide, this is a uniquely daring project. it explores a woman's struggle for independence and for the courage necessary to break from everything in your life. Adelaide-based filmmaker Granaz Moussavi is one of the most prominent poets of her generation in Iran. She has based this uncompromising debut feature on friends and acquaintances n Tehran's underground arts community.
