When Parvaneh shaves away the hair on her upper lip and between her eyebrows, her parents are livid. A film about beauty ideals and norms, but most of all about young women’s limited rights to decide over their own bodies. The boy next door thinks Parvaneh is fine just as she is, but stands by her side when she risks punishment.
