Tomorrow We Are Free

Iran, 1979. The revolution is shaking the country. Omid, a dissident who has lived for years in East Germany, cannot resist the call from his homeland; he returns to Tehran with high hopes together with his wife Beate, a chemical engineer, and their daughter. But the country he expected and the country he finds are not the same, and the direction of the revolution soon begins to take aim at people like him as well. The family finds itself together this time, but inside a quite different kind of pressure. The film set out from a true story and tells how hope and fear changed places within a single year. Katrin Rover appears in Hossein Pourseifi’s ninety six minute German film, completed in 2019.
