What is on the minds of contemporary Iranians? To answer this question Sou Abadi spent five months in Tehran, documenting what happens in the city's social service and psychological institutions, which have never been filmed by Iranian filmmakers. We visit: The Voice of Assistance is a psychology telephone hotline, The Committee of the Imam, a charity created by the Ayatollah Khomeini for the poor, The mandatory pre-marital sex education courses of the Health Ministry, The group psychotherapy sessions of Dr. Majd, psychoanalyst of Tehran's elite, and The Marriage Foundation, an ultra-Islamic matrimonial agency. By taking the camera into places where people come to confide, SOS IN TEHRAN shows us the unseen life in of the rich and poor, the educated and the illiterate, the religious and the atheistic, the married and the adolescent.
