Based on Satrapi's graphic novel about her life is pre and post- revolutionary Iran and then in Europe. The film traces growth from child rebellious, punk- loving teenager in Iran. In the background are growing tensions of the political climate in Iran in the 70's and 80's, with members of her liberal- leaning family detained and then executed, and the background of the disastrous Iran/Iraq war.
<span>Brendan:</span> Hey, Riley
Riley: Hey, Brendan. I need to talk to you.
Brendan: OK. What’s going on?
Riley: I asked you if I could get the $30
that you owe me and you said that you didn’t have it. But I saw you in the
store last week buying expensive clothes.
Brendan: Well last week was my cousin’s
birthday and I needed something to wear. My mom gave me money to get something.
I asked for $30 and she wasn’t able to give it to me this week because she
needed to pay the bills and groceries but she told me she’ll give it to me
soon. That’s why I didn’t have when you asked. I’m still trying to get it
though.
Riley: I understand, Brendan. I just needed
it so that I can go to the mall, but I can always get it from my mom. You can
give it to me whenever you can, it’s no rush. Thanks for letting me know.
Brendan: Thanks for understanding Riley.
