ARTEIn Tehran, plunged into darkness and emptied of some of its inhabitants, a young woman observes the city from her terrace and wonders about the unpredictable future of her country in the midst of war.
In deserted apartments and streets, Iranians live to the rhythm of the bombings, caught between solidarity and the fear of shortages. In the South, anti-regime activists are already celebrating what they believe to be the end of a regime. In another city, whose location is kept secret, a radiologist recounts how she treats wounded protesters in a hospital under the constant surveillance of security forces. At the risk of her life, she has been able to document the massacres of the Islamic Republic. She describes the fractures and gunshot wounds and the clandestine networks established to help the victims of the regime’s repression. In Tehran, as in the rest of the country, the war is amplifying the fractures in a society already marked by years of repression and uncertainty.
