1974, Iran.Houri Taqkhan is 18 years old when the opportunity arises to marry her family friend’s son, Raz Yaakhi, the heir to the North Banks. She accepts, knowing it’s her best economic and social choice to pull herself out of poverty. Sounds perfect but there’s one catch, Houri and Raz have despised each other since childhood and have spent their lives concealing their hatred during yearly dinner parties, as their families’ friendship runs generations deep. Remembering Memories follows decades of Houri’s life, as she and Raz navigate being a married couple hiding their dislike from the world while tackling issues of class difference, gender, and an uprising revolution.
