With And Granny would dance, six year old Marmar observes how adult women navigate their relationships with their loved ones and each other. She remembers how, after her grandad’s passing, Granny stopped dancing and even smiling, and then listens in on her grandmother’s friends discussing their partners as they play an illicit game of cards. Based on the director’s memories of her childhood in Iran, And Granny would dance is a tale of love, grief and resilience across generations, and at its heart, a tribute to the solidarity of Iranian women.
