Jasmine (2013)
Directed by Alain Ughetto

Film Synopsis

In France in the late 1970s, Alain Ughetto meets Jamine, a young Iranian woman who is desperately concerned about her people's future as the Islamic Revolution starts to get under way.  Since the Shah was driven from power, Iran has fallen under the influence of its most prominent religious leader, the Ayatollah Khomeini.  Now, the country is in the grip of a violent transition, in which the freedoms of the past are rapidly disappearing as religious fundamentalism of the most severe kind begins to assert its authority.  Alain's love for Jamine is about to radically transform his life and draw him into one of the most dramatic events to take place in the Middle East during the 20th century.  This quest for freedom is an adventure filled with improbable excursions, and naturally it can only be told through the medium of animated modelling clay...
