Plot: Oz is suspected of being a mole working for a drug lord. He finds himself a prisoner, by his boss determined to make him talk. For this he uses Laly, a naive young woman, very fragile, who proves to be a killer out of the ordinary, then Tony Sagaz, a black man of Scottish origin, a typical executioner, using his natural gifts as tools of torture. But this strategy of intimidation is not successful: Oz is too tough. The Boss has a plan B, a terrible secret weapon... 'The Mace'. Faced with this human machine, Oz will confront its own weaknesses.

Plot: In 1970s Iran, Marjane 'Marji' Statrapi watches events through her young eyes and her idealistic family of a long dream being fulfilled of the hated Shah's defeat in the Iranian Revolution of 1979. However as Marji grows up, she witnesses first hand how the new Iran, now ruled by Islamic fundamentalists, has become a repressive tyranny on its own. With Marji dangerously refusing to remain silent at this injustice, her parents send her abroad to Vienna to study for a better life. However, this change proves an equally difficult trial with the young woman finding herself in a different culture loaded with abrasive characters and profound disappointments that deeply trouble her. Even when she returns home, Marji finds that both she and homeland have changed too much and the young woman and her loving family must decide where she truly belongs.

Quotes:

Marjane's grandmother: Fear lulls our minds to sleep.

Marjane's grandmother: The first marriage is practice for the second.

Marjane's grandmother: Listen. I don't like to preach, but here's some advice. You'll meet a lot of jerks in life. If they hurt you, remember it's because they're stupid. Don't react to their cruelty. There's nothing worse than bitterness and revenge. Keep your dignity and be true to yourself.

[first lines]::Airport receptionist: Ticket and passport, please.

Momo: Life is a void. When man realizes that he can no longer live, so he invents power games...::Marjane as a teenager: Bullshit! Life isn't absurd! Some people give their lives for freedom. You think my uncle died for fun? Egotistical prick.

Marjane (voice over): I remember I led a peaceful, uneventful life as a little girl. I loved fries with ketchup, Bruce Lee was my hero, I wore Adidas sneakers and had two obsessions: Shaving my legs one day and being the last prophet of the galaxy.

Mr. Satrapi - Marjane's father: [while saying goodbye to his daughter] Never forget who you are and where you're from.

God: Go, and do what you have to do.::Marx: Remember, the struggle goes on! Eh?::God: Yeah, yeah. The struggle goes on.

Paris Taxi Driver: Where are you from?::Marjane (voice over): Iran.

Policeman: Why are you running?::Marjane as a teenager: I'm late for my class!::Policeman: Maybe, but you mustn't run. When you run, your behind moves around in an obscene way.::Marjane as a teenager: [angry] Then stop staring at my ass!
