Persepolis and real life

While Lorenzo was crossing the ocean and reading Persepolis, I was having a drink with a couple of Iranian friends at "Le Tournesol", a very nice bar in Paris which I recommend...And, curiosely enough, we started talking about Persepolis. They told me that the film brought memories of lots of thing they had forgotten but they lived during their childhood. Their parents were Iranian communists and they spent occasionally some days in prison...The father of one was a great producer of homemade wine and my friend still remembers when she helped him pressing grapes with her foot:-) Exactly as in the movie!
