　　内容简介：伊拉克的北部城市厄比尔被人们认为是全世界最古老的文明居住地，然而这里的人却无事可做。利拉是一位被困在邻国伊拉克的伊朗难民。她抱怨说厄比尔没有任何个人发展空间：“除了去健身和保持自己的身体健康，我还有什么可做的呢？”利拉是这个地区唯一一所女性健身房的训练员。“伊拉克相信美丽”描绘了六位女性在健身房内外的生活。影片没有象头条新闻一样，对死亡进行千篇一律的报道，而是集中描写了这些女性的个人生活。她们的故事为当今伊拉克混乱的局面填补了一些空缺。在这部47分钟的纪录片中，利拉是我们的导游。她向我们介绍了这座城市的日常生活，以及一些前往健身房的女性的生活。尽管这些女性知道如果影片在伊拉克或土耳其播放，她们的生命将受到威胁，但是她们仍然愿意面对镜头讲话。这些女性和制片人之间的关系是自发和不断变化的，成为了这部影片独特的风格。“伊拉克相信美丽”并不局限于任何特定的主题。影片的宗旨不在于证明什么，或者下结论，或者展开辩论。片中的女性在一个美丽正遭受到恐吓的国家里，依然不放弃对美丽的追求，这才是影片想捉住的精神。“伊拉克相信美丽”这部动人影片目的是为了激发你的思维。你准备好了吗？

Brief Synopsis：In the northern Iraqi city of Erbil, the city thought to be the oldest civilized settlement in the world, there’s not much to do. Leila is an Iranian refugee who got stranded in neighbouring Iraq. Complaining about the lack of personal development she says: “What can I do for myself, except go to the gym and take care of my body?” She has become the trainer in the only women’s gym in the region. The Iraqi Workout follows six women inside and outside the gym. The film focuses on their individual lives and not on the anonymous deaths of the news headlines. Their stories add some missing pieces to the jumbled puzzle that is Iraq today. Leila is our guide during the 47 minutes of the documentary. She gives us a tour through everyday life in the city and the lives of some of the women that go to the gym. The women were willing to talk despite significant risk for their lives if the film is shown in Iraq or Turkey. The relation between the women and the filmmaker is spontaneous and dynamic and provides the film with a unique format. The Iraqi Workout doesn’t limit itself to any specific subject. It is not trying to prove anything, give a conclusion or open a debate. The aim is to catch the atmosphere and the spirit of these women who want to be pretty in a country where beauty is under threat. The Iraqi Workout is an engaging routine designed to exercise your perspective. Are you ready?
