Iranian-American filmmaker Marjan Tehrani chronicles her brother's return to Iran as he travels with his American wife to have a Persian wedding ceremony and explore his lost heritage. Using dynamic historical footage and weaving it with the couple's personal story, this documentary explores the history and impact of the broken relationship between Iran and America. "Arusi" is the story of one young couple's journey to discover Iran on their own terms. Behind the curtain of political tension, the film offers rare glimpses of both modern and traditional Iran, displaying a vibrant and complex country that is sealed off to much of the West.

""For filmmaker Marjan Tehrani and her brother Alex, growing up Iranian-American has always meant being caught between two worlds. With unique perspective and intimate storytelling, Tehrani brings to life a compelling examination of US-Iranian relations through the personal journey of her brother Alex and his [American] fiancée Heather's trip to Iran to hold a traditional Persian wedding -- just as the [Tehrani's] Iranian father and American mother did at a time when Iran and the US were close allies"--Http://www.wmm.com/filmCatalog/pages/c742.shtml."@en
