This documentary looks at the life and work of the Iranian artist Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian. Monir created an artistic language that was informed by traditional Iranian craft and architecture; formative years spent in New York in the 1940s and 50s and ongoing conversations with some of the 20th century’s most experimental artists were also part of Monir´s artistic universe.
