Short synopsis:
Mania Akbari starts shooting a film titled Women Do Not Have Breasts. It is a story about a couple by the name of Ava and Ashkan who live in a beautiful house located in the outskirts of the city with their caretaker couple, Maryam and Rahim. Ava is a poet and a writer, and Ashkan is a man from an upper class and bourgeois background. Ava is constantly dissatisfied by her life with Ashkan. Her loneliness as an artist and her living as a married homemaker has turned her life into a crisis. She has a deep and intimate relationship with her maid Maryam without the knowledge of Ashkan. When Maryam is not around the conflict between Ava and Ashkan escalates. Roya, Ava's sister, tries to help her to hold her marriage together, since she lives alone and is afraid of her sister getting into a similar situation. Mania makes the film up to this point, until a few filmmakers are arrested in Iran. Since she is tired of the barred atmosphere of filmmaking in Iran, and also since none of her films have gotten permission to be made and exhibited inside of Iran, she takes her unfinished film and leaves her country. She faces the reality of her situation, decides to finish her film in London, and changes the title from Women Do Not Have Breasts to From Tehran to London.
