In November 1955, Nasser Ali Khan, one of Iran's most celebrated tar players, is in search of a new instrument.

Åbenhjertigt, bramfrit og indimellem trods alt kærligt afslører, vurderer og kommenterer Marjane Satrapis kvindelige familiemedlemmer og veninder emner som arrangerede ægteskaber, fordelene ved at være elskerinde, sex i en høj alder, de tvivlsomme æstetiske værdier ved en penis - og hvordan man restaurerer en jomfruhinde ved hjælp af et såkaldt "broderi".

Teheran, november 1958. Marjane Satrapis onkel, den anerkendte musiker Nasser Ali Khan, leder efter en ny tar. Hans kærlige, men bitre kone har nemlig i frustration ødelagt den, han har spillet på siden sin ungdom. Det er imidlertid ikke let at finde et langhalset strengeinstrument af samme klanglige skønhed som det forrige, og da han endelig finder en erstatning, viser det sig umuligt for ham at få tonerne frem og opleve glæden ved at spille. Nasser Ali synker hen i en depressiv døs, og hverken hans medfølende bror, hans udstødte søster eller hans fire børn kan tilsyneladende få den egensindige og ensomme musiker til at lade være med at lægge sig ned for at dø. End ikke hans hustrus overraskende servering af kylling med blommer - efter Nasser Alis mors gamle opskrift - får ham til at genfinde livsmodet.Kylling med blommer blev kåret som årets bedstetegneserieudgivelse i Frankrig 2005.
