Storyline

Trivia

At around 07 minutes 23 seconds into the film, when the two embassy diplomats approach the building, in response to a question by one of the activists, one of them turns around and says 'It won't take long'. This is a great example of subtle Persian double-speak, since what he really means is not related to the event duration, but rather the duration of the uprising in Iran, which these activists are protesting for. It won't take long, meaning it will be finished soon, which is exactly what happened at the end of 2010.
