Biopic retraçant la vie de Malcolm X, leader du mouvement noir américain Nation of Islam : de son enfance difficile, à sa jeunesse délinquante, à son séjour en prison où il apprend à cultiver la fierté de sa race, à sa rencontre avec l'islam, à son pèlerinage à la Mecque jusqu’à son assassinat le 21 février 1965, à New-York en plein meeting.

A family’s story, typically crazy and exceptional at the same time. A film about home and exile, parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters and all the other relatives, close and distant, in an extended Persian family. Some of them emigrated to Europe or America, though the majority has stayed in Iran. Regardless of all the danger involved, they secretly meet after 20 years at a place which won’t raise suspicion among the Iranian authorities: Mecca. They come from America, Sweden, Austria and Iran to laugh, argue, cook and celebrate. This is accompanied by an excessive amount of hugging and kissing, and also a clash between Muslim and Western cultures.
