Anoosh puts her to bed and gives her a carved swan that he had made out of bread while in prison. The swan symbolizes beauty and freedom. In the last scene, Marjane dreams of walking down a tree lined street, telling her friends that many people in her family are heroes and have gone to prison for their political beliefs.
