"Before The Revolution" is the story of the last days of the Israeli community in Tehran, before and during the Islamic revolution of 1979. As the Middle East takes on a radical change, the Israelis - who are enjoying a close relation to the Sha's regime - are taken by surprise, while their Persian paradise of luxury and fortune turns into hell. It is a suspense story about courage and hastiness, about greed and blindness and about great dreams versus an impossible reality. And for one young Israeli family, the director's family – the last days in Teheran is also a private and hurtful story of a long gone paradise, never to return.

The film has been selected for the Central Pitch sessions on IDFA forum.
