Man khod, man ham miraghsam

And Me, I’m Dancing Too

Generation 14plus

With rhythmic fluidity, Saba’s body moves to the music. Dancing is what she lives for, how she expresses herself – yet she is not free to do so in her own country. In a film dancing the line between documentary and fiction, a moving portrait emerges of a generation of young Iranians hemmed in by the Islamic republic’s rigid rules. When Saba rebels in a poetic act of defiance, the boundaries between fiction and reality finally dissolve.
