In Tehran, the exemplary family of investigating judge Iman (Missagh Zareh) – comprising matriarch Najmeh (Soheila Golestani) and daughters Rezvan (Masha Rostami) and Sana (Setareh Maleki) – is tested by the dramatic events following a young woman’s death in police custody.
Shot entirely in secret, and interweaving real-life footage of protests igniting throughout Iran, this impassioned indictment of systemic misogyny and authoritarianism from exiled filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof (There Is No Evil) is a nerve-shredding, twisting, Cannes award-winning thriller of lasting power.
