Plot

Gecko is a young emancipated man whose every step is a dance, and Anahita is an Iranian runaway roiled by her country’s current events. In June 2009, following the controversial Iranian elections, the streets are invaded by demonstrators. The Islamic Regime, anxious to control its public image, arrests the journalists. The citizens decide to testify by filming and broadcasting the events on YouTube. These images are uploaded untreated and shock the world. In Paris, Anahita has to face these images, looking for her relatives and friends. They engage in an identity fight, willing to emancipate. Little by little, their individual story is blemished by historical forces and its never-ending coverage on the Internet.
