The first narrative film from Iran to feature a transgender main character, FACING
MIRRORS is a story of an unlikely and daring friendship that develops despite social
norms and traditional beliefs. Rana drives a cab in order to survive financially and
pay off the debt that keeps her husband in prison. By chance, she picks up Eddie,
who’s on the run and desperately awaiting the passport he needs to leave the country.
When the religious and inexperienced Rana learns that her wealthy passenger is FTM,
conflicts arise, but could they eventually help each other out of their dire situations?
