A rebellious girl grows up in politically repressed, war-torn Iran. She is sent to Vienna where she hangs out with punk rockers, lives with nuns and has her first love affair. They break-up, she has a nervous breakdown and goes back to Iran. More boredom and political repression sets in, so she gets married. They divorce, she goes to France. Teenage melodrama that resembles an episode of "Daria", and the animation is about of the same caliber.
