This intimate documentary profiles an Iranian climber who defies entrenched social and ideological barriers to pursue her passion. Shot in an observational, cinema-vérité style, the film follows her as she teaches young women to climb the rock faces outside Tehran, cultivating physical skill and personal independence. Through quiet, luminous scenes and candid moments it explores themes of resilience, solidarity and small acts of social change, tracing the emotional and geographic contours of a life lived on the edge. Original version with French subtitles.
The screening will be introduced by Ambassador Luigi Maria Vignali, Permanent Representative of Italy to the United Nations and other International Organizations in Geneva. The event will be followed by a convivial aperitif.
