Portrait of a Life is a true story that explores the impact of friendship. Prior to the 1979 Iranian Revolution, Azadeh moves to the United States.

When she is unable to accept the position, Azadeh reflects on her friends and the impact they have had on her life, her art, and her mind. Though they were each born in different parts of the world and lived during different times, both endured harsh life circumstances.

She ultimately realizes that achieving peace of mind is the key to happiness, whether one's dreams have been fulfilled or not.
