SYNOPSIS
This documentary is about nose job (nose surgery) in Iran that statistically has the highest rank. The film is researching for what Iranian young generation is so interested in changing the appearance. Through nose job, the film surveys and analyzes the urban society and today’s youth of Iran especially in social, psychological, cultural and political fields.
Iranians have more nose jobs than any other nationality — even mannequins in store windows wear bandages on their noses to indicate recent surgery, it’s that fashionable. Yet, plastic surgery is in direct opposition to the ideals of the Islamic Republic. In a culture where personal expression is limited by the confines of national law — what can this quirky statistic reveal? This festival award winner and crowd pleaser looks into an Iran that many of us do not know.
