Nasreen, a Tehran housewife, dreams of a career as a singer. But the Islamic Republic prohibits women from singing in public.

Nasreen’s story is captured by her sister, Iranian documentary filmmaker Leila Amini. A deeply personal account of the tension between creative passion and the reality of life under a repressive regime.

“the act of filming becomes not just a document, but a statement of solidarity and resistance in itself”, Amber Wilkinson, Screen Daily
