Iman, an investigating judge in the Revolutionary Court in Tehran, grapples with mistrust and paranoia as nationwide political protests intensify and his gun mysteriously disappears. Suspecting the involvement of his wife Najmeh and his daughters Rezvan and Sana, he imposes drastic measures at home, causing tensions to rise. Step by step, social norms and the rules of family life are being suspended.
"A thriller of propulsive skill and blunt emotional force, marrying the muscularity of an action film to the psychological intensity of a chamber drama." New Yorker
Note: Filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof fled Iran, where the film was made, after receiving an eight-year prison sentence, including whipping, as his revolutionary art is perceived to represent crimes against the country’s security.
