Filmed entirely in secret, this gripping political thriller, by banned Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof, centers on a family thrust into the public eye when family man, Iman, is appointed as an investigating judge in Tehran.
As political unrest erupts in the streets, and a young woman’s death in police custody sparks riots, Iman realizes that his job is even more dangerous than expected.
When Iman discovers that his service weapon has gone missing, he suspects his family may have something to do with it. Frightened to lose his reputation and his job, he becomes more and more paranoid, starting an investigation in his own home in which all borders are crossed one by one…
Awarded five prizes at the Cannes Film Festival and currently both Oscar and Bafta nominated.
