Alex and Heather wanted a traditional wedding in a warm, far-off location. But they didn’t choose the Caribbean. Set against the turbulent relationship between U.S. and Iran, Iranian-American filmmaker Marjan Tehrani captures the couple’s struggle and excitement as they plan a Persian Islamic wedding in Iran. But when Alex’s Iranian-born parents and Heather’s conservative American father meet for the first time, cultures clash and test the couple to their limits.
