A bittersweet intimate memoir of two young friends from the 1970s, told through their letters exchanged between Bucharest and Tehran, when the regimes of both countries collapsed almost at the same time. Zahra and Maria formed a close bond while studying medicine together at the University of Bucharest. But when Iranian Zahra felt the winds of change from her homeland, she dropped out of university and returned to Tehran, full of revolutionary aspirations back then."Between Two Revolutions" is a film about people's struggle for a brighter future and (in)valuable friendship – created entirely from archival footage and with a mesmerising soundtrack.

The event is supported by the Romanian Cultural Institute and the Embassy of Romania in Bulgaria.
