Iman, an investigating judge on Tehran's Revolutionary Court, 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 become suspended.
Mohammad Rasoulof’s daring drama about two daughters defying their conservative father courted controversy in his native Iran, not only for its allegorical critique of the regime and depictions of real-life protests but also for its realistic depiction of women without head scarves on at home – which has been censored in Iranian cinema since the beginning of theocratic rule in 1979.
“I had to choose between prison and leaving Iran. With a heavy heart, I chose exile.”
