1979: Persianality Disorder is a dark, satirical hour about growing up in post-revolution Iran, moving to Europe, and deciding the correct response to all of it is more honesty than anyone asked for. It's political, personal, and moves between the two without warning. Sepideh doesn't argue with the assumptions people make about Iranian women. She agrees, and then makes it worse. An Iranian woman making it everyone's problem.
