About the event

When a young Persian-American Jewish woman reveals her Muslim fiancé to her family, she’s forced to choose between love and tradition. Set in present-day Los Angeles, the film confronts taboo topics like interfaith relationships and cultural expectations within an Iranian-Jewish immigrant family. Shot in English and Farsi, it offers a raw look at identity, loyalty, and the cost of following one’s heart.
