Winner of the Un Certain Regard Special Jury Prize at Cannes Film Festival, Persian Cats follows musical duo Negar (Negar Shaghaghi) and Ashkan (Ashkan Koshanejad) after their release from prison. They decide to start a band, and their search for musicians takes us on a tour of Tehran’s underground indie-rock scene. Forbidden by the authorities to play in Iran, they plan to perform in Europe, but without money and passports it’s not so easy. Exciting musical performances add to the real-life resonance (the famously imprisoned Roxana Saberi co-wrote).
