Through candid interviews, the film explores a legacy of distrust and bitterness, but signs of hope emerge when some of the children dare to cross the checkpoints to meet one another. Justine Shapiro and her six-year-old son experience the daily life of three middle class families from very different backgrounds in Tehran.
