A portrait of Hemela Pourafzal, the exuberant matriarch and owner of Byblos Le Petit Café, a staple Iranian restaurant nested in Montreal for more than 37 years, serving as a central meeting point for the Iranian diaspora and the local art scene. As Hemela reflects on the past eight decades of her adventurous life, we uncover her untold stories and that of Iranian women through the prism of her life.
