This couple was never supposed to meet. Queen Farah Diba of Iran and the girl who fought her from the left and made the revolution.
But as often happens, revolutions eat their children and director Nahid Persson had to escape from her country, a country which had just executed her young brother.
So Persson ended up in Sweden, started to make documentaries and one day got the idea of taking contact with the queen, asking if it was possible to make a movie about her life today.
It was possible and the two of them become good friends in the end. The queen is found to still be much of an empress but also a warm person, who doesn't just call people in Iran. She is somewhat, as a paradox, willing to serve.
A warm documentary which once again tells us the truth. Whatever we are, we are first of all human beings.
