The untold story of the Israeli paradise in Iran.

During the 1960's and 70's a large community of Israelis lived in Tehran and enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle thanks to their special relationship with the Shah and his dictatorial rule.

By the time that they realized the corrupt dictatorship was collapsing, their 'Iranian paradise' was turning into hell and they found themselves in the middle of the Islamist revolution which was taking Iran by storm.

Using rare archive footage and interviews with diplomats, businessmen, and Mossad agents, the director -- whose family was part of that community -- reveals a new perspective on the revolution that changed the world.

What starts as a nostalgic look on a lost era becomes a thrilling story, in which
huge dreams are shattered by greed and lust for power.
