Persepolis

Marji leaves Iran again and this time she moves to France. Some time after leaving Iran, her grandmother dies. Back to the present story, Marji now a bit older, she takes a taxi from the airport. When the driver asks her "Where are you from?" she says she's from Iran. The final scene is Marji remembering, when she was a kid, asking her grandmother "why do you smell so nice?" and her grandmother replies that she puts jasmines beneath her clothes.
