Akbari looks into the connection between her body and the political history of Iran, investigating the relationship between her own physical traumas and the collective political memory of her birthplace. Remembrance and re-construction provide a course, as she undergoes various surgeries on a body decimated by cancer. A conversation of how bodies are traumatised, censored and politicized, and yet ultimately remain a site of possibility.
