Persepolis

Marjane is eight years old when the Mullahs overthrow the Shah of Persia and take power. The world suddenly becomes a different place. However, the rebellious Marjane has no intention of submitting to the new strict rules. Instead, she discovers punk, ABBA, and Iron Maiden, and begins to have her first experiences with boys. She is unaware that her playful protest is dangerous—not only for herself but also for her family.

The film is based on the acclaimed graphic novel, directed by the author Marjane Satrapi herself. This unconventional animated film about the director's childhood and youth in Iran during and after the revolution won the Jury Prize at Cannes, among other accolades. In the German dubbed version, Marjane is voiced by Jasmin Tabatabai.
