Synopsis

Brought up as a Christian, Marina Nemat's idyllic childhood in Tehran was shattered when the Iranian Revolution of 1979 ushered in a new era of Islamic rule. After complaining to her teachers about her Maths lessons being replaced by Koran study, Marina was arrested late one evening.

She was taken prison, where interrogation and torture were part of the daily routine. Aged sixteen, she was sentenced to death. Her prison guard snatched her from the firing squad bullets but exacted a shocking price in return - marriage to him and conversion to Islam.

Marina lived out her prison days as his secret bride, spending nights with him in a separate cell. But then her world changed once again...
