A MEETING BETWEEN TWO COUSINS, ONE BROUGHT UP IN IRAN AND THE OTHER ONE IN SWEDEN. A CULTURAL CLASH?
Setareh, a young Iranian woman, has been brought up in Sweden and has very much adopted values and habits, which are prevailing in Europe.
In this film she travels to Iran to meet and get to know her cousin, a young woman of exactly the same age as her.
Their appearances are fairly similar, but has the vastly different upbringing in two totally different societies made them strangers? Will they get on despite having different values?
Setareh finds that meeting her cousin is like seeing her own reflection in a mirror, which tells her how her life might have been if she had lived in Iran.
