After Us, Fire<\/h2>\n

In 1954<\/strong>, Ginette, a young farmer\u2019s daughter from Vaud, met a young Iranian man who had come to study in Switzerland: Manou, the uncle of Iran\u2019s future empress, Farah Diba. They fell in love and, despite their families\u2019 resistance, married and moved to Tabriz, in northwestern Iran. The couple led a carefree life, raising their children with the prospect of taking over the family farm. But in 1979, the monarchy was overthrown and replaced by the Islamic Republic. From then on, nothing unfolded as planned. Separated after the revolution, Ginette had to reinvent her life in Switzerland alone with her children, while Manou, imprisoned in Iran, never saw his family again until his death in 1990.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Retracing this family history, Chamsi\u2014Ginette\u2019s granddaughter\u2014uncovers an epic in which music played a central role. The vibrant sounds of pre-revolutionary Iran\u2014pop, funk, disco\u2014filled the family\u2019s daily life, until both the music and the lifestyle it embodied were banned by the Islamic regime.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In conversation with her father, Mehran, Chamsi rediscovers Ginette\u2019s story and revisits an era, from the late 1950s to 1979, when Iran was open to the world, its musical creativity thriving, and women\u2019s rights improving significantly. She questions the paradoxes of Iranian society under the Pahlavi dynasty\u2014a country torn between modernity and tradition, dictatorship and democratic aspirations.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As her journey unfolds, she weaves together the family saga with the broader history of Iranian pop music of the time. This vibrant, free, and colorful music now lies at the heart of the nostalgia for a country she never knew\u2014an Iran that vanished abruptly in 1979 with Khomeini\u2019s rise to power. Her intimate quest gradually merges with a cultural and identity quest, paying tribute to both her roots and to the music.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
