"..we must hide our lights in dark closets.", schrieb Ahmad Shamloo bereits im Juli 1979, aus dessen Gedicht der Filmtitel entnommen wurde. Die Protagonistinnen des Films waren während der Revolution im Iran in der feministischen und linken Szene politisch aktiv. Mit dem Verbot vieler politischer Oppositionsgruppen mussten sie, um ihre Zusammenkünfte geheim zu halten, im Untergrund arbeiten. Sie flohen Anfang der 80er Jahre im Zuge der brutalen islamischen Säuberungsaktionen nach West-Berlin. Die Regisseurin Mira Habibi, baut ihre Filmdramaturgie nicht historisch-linear auf, sondern folgt fragmentarischen Erzählsträngen, in denen die Interviewten über ihr Verhältnis zu politischer Arbeit, Revolution, Sexualität und Flucht sprechen.

"..we must hide our lights in dark closets.", wrote Ahmad Shamloo in a poem in July 1979, from which the film title was taken. During the revolution in Iran all protagonists of the film were involved with feminist and left wing politics. After the prohibition of many political opposition groups they were forced to keep their gatherings in secret and continued their work in the underground. In the 80s during the brutal cleanup by the Islamists all of them fled to West-Berlin. The director Mira Habibi builds a non-historical film narrative and follows fragmentary lines. The interviewees talk about their idea of political work, the revolution, sexuality and migration.
