Synopsis: When a group of women — Marjane Satrapi's beloved, tough-talking grandmother, her mother, an eccentric aunt, and their friends and neighbors — gather for an afternoon of tea-drinking and talking, the conservation naturally turns to love, sex, and the vagaries of Iranian men.
As the day progresses, these vibrant women share secrets, confessions of sadness and regret, and, above all, outrageous tales about, among other things: how to fake your virginity, how to escape the husband your family has chosen for you, how to enjoy the miracles of plastic surgery, and how to take advantage of being someone's mistress.
By turns heartbreaking and hilarious, these stories lift the veil off the real, private lives of Iranian women and — perfectly captured in Satrapi's simple, beguiling drawings — reveal the connections between women everywhere.
