Winner of Best Short Film award at the 2009 Noor Film Festival, this 20 minute short narrative film was written and directed under the umbrella of AFI's Directing Workshop For Women.

Neda, an American woman born in Iran, returns to the land of her birth desperately seeking answers to a mystery that has tormented her family all her life.

With only a scribbled address to follow, Neda grabs a taxi and plunges into the seamy streets of Tehran. As day turns into night, so does this city where hookers, heroin and rock music come out to howl in the face of Islam.

As night falls, she stumbles on a shabby flower shop with the right address. But things are not what they seem. She has blundered into a dangerous realm of power, deceit and fear, where any move could be her last. Just when Neda’s quest seems hopeless, she finds what she is looking for … only to see it slip through her fingers at the last minute.
