4211 km is the distance between Paris and Teheran.

4211 km is the distance between Paris and Teheran, the distance covered by Mina and Fereydoun who came from Iran to take refuge in France after a revolution that was stolen from them. Their daughter Yalda, born in Paris, tells us about their life in exile, their fight for freedom, their love of a country and the hope of a return.

She takes us on a journey between her two worlds: her family, uprooted people who never complain, and French society, in which she is desperately seeking her place.

It's the story of a heritage both loved and hated, and of men and women trying to find a new path. At a time when the people of Iran have been in revolt for almost two years, this play has a special resonance. It sheds light on the barbarity of the Islamic regime and bears witness to the struggle that Iranians have been waging for over 44 years - those who are no longer there, those who stayed and those in exile.
