She, your mother: “It is one of the most beautiful places in the world I have ever visited.” Why do you give yourself the right to put those words in quotation marks, to create an illusion of certainty? This visit of hers to Israel was before the Islamic Revolution of 1979. She tells you about it years later, after the Revolution. A new documentary film, Before the Revolution, resurrects the Israeli memories of life in Iran before the Islamic Revolution of 1979. It tells “the untold story of the Israeli paradise in Iran.” Life is divided into the before and the after. The before and the after continue to coexist. Within the body.
