Marjane, a young girl, grows up in Iran during and after the Islamic Revolution. Her life is shaped by political turmoil, family bonds and eventual exile in Europe. Through stark black-and-white animation, the film turns a personal coming-of-age story into a broader reflection on revolution, identity, and what it means to feel at home. Its minimalistic style is not just a design choice but makes events big and small in a faraway place feel relatable for people from all over the globe.

« As modern as tomorrow's headlines and as classic as an ancient myth. » (The Globe and Mail)
« Persepolis mêle le rire aux larmes, sans faire l'impasse sur les ravages de la dictature islamiste avec son lot d’intolérances et d’arrestations. Drôle et poignante, éducative et captivante. » (Paris Match)
