Embroideries
Synopsis
A collection of stories told in Marjane Satrapi's stark black-and-white graphic style, centered on an afternoon tea gathering where women from different generations share candid accounts of love, sex, marriage, and life under Iran's Islamic Republic. Told with the same wit and warmth as Persepolis, Embroideries weaves together humor about Iranian social customs with genuine affection for its cast of characters.
