Tehran's Daughters

May McGoldrick, Jan Coffey, Nikoo Kafi

Sinossi

Two women. Two revolutions. A lifetime of exile and longing.
In 1978, seventeen-year-old Omid is forced to flee Iran on the eve of the Islamic Revolution, leaving behind a mother whose defiance against the regime has made her a marked woman. Arriving in America, Omid believes her stay will be temporary. But when her mother is declared a fugitive, her dreams of return collapse, and she is left to build a life in exile—one shaped by loss, resilience, and the echoes of a past she cannot escape.
Three decades later, Omid is a mother raising her daughters in Connecticut, trying to bury the memories of the country she once called home. But when her eldest daughter, Sayeh, is arrested in Tehran amid a new wave of protests, Omid's past and present collide. As Sayeh disappears into the underground resistance, Omid is thrust into the same fear and defiance that once defined her own youth.
 
Spanning two generations of women bound by revolution and exile, Tehran's Daughters is a powerful story of resistance, identity, and the unbreakable ties between mothers and daughters.

I awaken to the touch of cold metal hands and talking holograms. Paralyzed and dependent on the Others. They tell me a story . . . at first; I refuse to believe. A story of no return and extreme loss, but one of the voices is different. He projects anger and distrust . . . but his hands . . . even though cold and hard, are always gentle. I have come to crave the sound of his growls because I know within moments, he will hold me in his arms. When my sight returns. I was not prepared to see what he really was, but when he collapsed in front of me, his body failing. Why do I suddenly feel like this is my biggest loss yet?

Tony Wacko isn't the only one due for a surprise; Camarih herself gets a shock of her own after paying closer attention to those she's tried to leave in the past. Additionally she must face her love's ever growing celebrity status and the many women that come along with it. Will she and Tony keep their fiery love blazing? Or will Camarih's jealousy and secret-keeping tear them apart? The remaining couples also return, with some doing everything in their power to rekindle with their one true love, and others branching out into new romances … sort of. This is the final journey of the lives and loves of these Los Angeles natives, but it's nothing short of an envy, betrayal, and deception-filled roller coaster.
