This trailer begins with a situation which presents Marji as an adolescent going through moments of extreme difficulty and pain, which she has to face in her short - but extremely eventful -life: leaving her country - and family - at fourteen.

Moments that Marjane had to go through is leaving her country and family at fourteen, and shows how strong and mature is Marji. Because it must have been difficult for her to take care of herself in a completly different country with a really different culture.
(The trailer present the images that Marjane have to go through since she was a little girl. I think that the trailer is based specially in the politics theme, about the revolution and the war)

... The trailer continues with a flashback of the years spend on Iran, it's a group of images that represent very important moments for example when she was caught buying forbidden things or the moment where her uncle appears and the Shah is overthrown.

This trailar begun with Marji asking for coming back! That show how hard was Marji's life on another cuntry, far form her family and culture.
Then there is a flashback, and we see her life on Iran, her school, her family, how she buy iliggal things! But for me the most important is when her uncle appeared, I remember that Marji wants a hero on her family, but then she realize taht for being a hero in her country he must died!

The memmories from her childhood continues with the beggining of the fundamentalist goverment and the war with Iraq after the islamic revolution . Both situations of conflict make Majane´s life harder with the use of the veil and the devalued of women. The education was controled by the fundamentalist, so there were no mixt schools anymore...

All the moments it shows are important and relevant. How the political changes can interfere in her life; seeing the people she loved being in danger with the new goverment. All the scenes shown, are part of her grown up. They also help her to be more mature in some way. Anahi
