Information

Me and My Cousin / Jag och min kusin (2003)

Description

A meeting between two cousins, one brought up in Iran and the other one in Sweden.  Twenty year old Setareh, is born in Iran but brought-up in Sweden. Her cousin Nasim is the same age, and she is living in fundamentalist Iran. Is it possible to meet in spite of cultural differences and different values? Are there any similarities or only differences between them?  ”To meet her was like looking into a mirror – one that I looked into and saw how my life could have became”, says the director.
