Iranian director Mahamed Rasoulof (Manuscripts Don’t Burn, There Is No Evil) delivers this confronting drama that speaks to the dividing lines in Iranian society.
Iman (Missagh Zareh) is a judge who sees the benefits for his family in his career’s rapid advancement. His student daughters (Setareh Malek and Mahsa Rostami) are suspicious of his increasing collaboration with the regime. He is warned not to confide in his wife (played by actor and anti-hijab protester Soheila Golestani) as he is encouraged to wave through death sentences without considering the evidence. Iman’s divided loyalties are exposed when his government-issued handgun goes missing, and suspicion falls on the women in his home. What follows is a supremely dramatic wave of edge-of-the-seat revelations.
