    • Synopsis
    • Eight-year-old Rizoo lives with her mother and grandmother in Tehran. She is lively, polite and smart. But when she must take a class portrait, her world suddenly becomes very complicated. Does she wear the traditional head-scarf, which all girls over the age of nine must wear—or does she display her beautiful long locks? We witness Rizoo navigate the challenges of growing up a misfit girl in modern Iran.
