Tehran. June 2009. The uproar of a city that is swinging with the « Green Wave » of contest to the rigged presidential election. An apartment as a shelter. A man and a woman who belong to two different generations. A mobile phone and a computer to communicate with the free world. A love story, that will change two lives.

« A feverish closed-door session (...) A fine and strong gesture of resistance. » - Télérama
« A rigorous sense of framing (...), a striking soundtrack enhanced by Ibrahim Maalouf's score, dialogues with a corrosive irony. » - Positif
« Red Rose is worth as much for his courage as for the values it defends: the freedom to love and to think. » - JDD
