Synopsis
Tehran's Israeli community faced a sudden upheaval in the months leading to the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Director Dan Shadur, whose family lived through this turmoil, uses rare archival materials to depict the transition from stability under the Shah's regime to chaos. Thousands of Israelis, once secure in their lives, confront the shattering of their existence. The film captures the emotional impact of this historical moment and the complex relationship between the Israeli community and the Shah.
