Through the lens of archival home movies, the film is an experimental journey that delves into childhood memories, highlighting dance not only as a tool of expression but also as a manifestation of existence. Playing with an imaginative and fictive approach to archival footage, it seeks to reclaim agency and power for seven-year-old Sadaf and her classmates while emphasizing the power of archives as a medium to challenge stereotypical and often linear portrayals of Iranian women.
