Shirin in Love

Love has no borders and therein lies the premise of the hilarious, new Iranian-American romantic comedy Shirin in Love.  Nazanin Boniadi plays Shirin, an absent-minded young Iranian-American living in "Tehrangeles" (the large Iranian community in Los Angeles) with her overbearing mother and empathetic father.  Despite being engaged for years to a successful Iranian plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, Shirin finds herself breaking loyalty and tradition when she falls in love with a mysterious young man who lives in a lighthouse in northern California. As her secret unravels and cultures clash, Shirin discovers what it ultimately means to be true to herself.
