After meeting at the Medical University of Bucharest in the 1970s, Maria, a Romanian, and Zahra, an Iranian, develop a deep, close bond. However, their fates will diverge when Zahra decides to return to her native Iran to take part in a political coup, which later becomes a revolution. The winds of change will also sweep through Romania, where Maria, who remains behind, will witness the revolution that will overthrow the communist Ceaușescu regime. As the two countries move in different political directions, the women will stay in touch through letters for the next ten years. But the hope for a better future will be replaced by anxiety, fear and loss. The distance that has grown due to political turmoil will never be reduced, and Maria's last letters to Zharia, full of questions, will remain unanswered. N-13 Romanian, Persian with Lithuanian and English subtitles. 21 September-1 October. The Skalvija Film Centre invites you to the 20th Vilnius Documentary Film Festival (VDFF).
