In 1970s Bucharest, Zahra and Maria form a deep friendship while studying at university. As political turmoil brews in Iran, Zahra is forced to return home, leaving Maria behind. Over the next decade, they maintain their connection through a series of letters, chronicling their struggles as women fighting for a voice and their respective countries moving in divergent directions.
“Between Revolutions is a hybrid film that mixes archives and real documents with fictional elements, having at its core the correspondence between these two women. The text of the letters is inspired by archives from the Secret Police and by the poems of two important female writers from Romania and Iran – Nina Cassian and Forugh Farrokhzad and is written by one of the most talented Romanian contemporary writers - Lavinia Brani?te.” (Vlad Petri)
