Iran is a great nation, which can be proud of its glorious past. However the 20th century was the most difficult period for its identity and its struggle for survival.
I particularly love this movie, which portrays a country in which the hope for freedom, secularism and economic improvement is something concrete and possible. And I guess that Soraya was the emblem of this hope.
Now, comparing the reality of the 21th century to that portrayed in the movie...everything looks so far and impossible.
