Exile Family Movie is a portrait of a
typically crazy, ordinary and exceptional
family. 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 have stayed in Iran.
Regardless of all the danger involved,
they secretly meet after 20 years at
a place which wonít raise suspicion
among the Iranian authorities: Mecca.
They come from America, Sweden,

and celebrate.
