In her short video, Iranian-American filmmaker Shaghayegh Azimi captures the giddy atmosphere of Valentine’s Day in Tehran, as she speaks to people on the streets, in malls and gift shops, and in cafes where couples are out on dates.
The full story of Valentine's Day embodies major cultural and political changes that have taken place since the Islamic Revolution. It shows the vibrancy of civil society that is sometimes overlooked in Western media coverage of Iran.
