How Dare You Have Such a Rubbish Wish plot

Leading filmmaker, artist and actress Mania Akbari demands her body back. And that of all those other women in Iranian films. Using almost a hundred fragments from Iranian film history, she tells a story about liberation, exploitation, emancipation and ultimately oppression. Dancing women, women eager to marry, intoxicated women, women in underwear, running women in short dresses: all filmed from a male perspective, with a 'male gaze'. Even in those free years before the revolution, we were oppressed, Akbari wants to say.
