Desiree Akhavan’s personal debut film, Appropriate Behavior, was released in 2014. It’s a comedic and introspective look at a young woman, Shirin, who stumbles through her identity as she tries to be the ideal Persian daughter, politically correct bisexual and hip young Brooklynite but fails miserably in her attempts to be all three. With her sexuality being a secret from her traditional Persian family, she also deals with the disintegration of her relationship with her girlfriend.
