La joven de Teherán

The Iranian government finally allows women to attend university, and Roya's father encourages her to major in chemistry, though she prefers spending her time among books at Mr. Fahkri's stationery shop. There she meets Bahman Aslan, a passionate young man who is emerging as a political activist, and she falls deeply in love with him. However, as the country experiences tumultuous days following a coup, Bahman's family refuses to accept Roya as his future wife, and his mother betroths him to the daughter of an ally of the Shah, the Persian monarch. The couple plans to elope, but on that hot August afternoon, Roya waits, and Bahman doesn't appear. From then on, the days become an endless succession of empty hours… Sixty years later, Roya will have the opportunity to reunite with her great love. A lifetime of silence will resurface from the depths of her soul. Why did he disappear? Where did he go? And most importantly, did he forget her?
