Sometimes there are unforgettable encounters. These Forteresses are undeniably among them! On a stage transformed into a Persian living room, Gurshad Shaheman invites us into the intimacy of his Iranian family. He introduces us to the extraordinary destinies of his mother and his two aunts. They tell us about their youth, their relationships with men, their struggles for women's emancipation swept away by the 1979 revolution, the war with Iraq and the devastated landscapes, and their arrival in Europe. It is a story where, as often, the intimate and the political intertwine to offer us an extraordinary immersive experience of great and rare intensity. From 15 years old
