Synopsis
Celebrated Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof (There Is No Evil) directs a powerful political drama spotlighting the ongoing political unrest in Tehran.
Shot entirely in secret, Mohammad Rasoulof's award-winning thriller centres on a family thrust into a life of paranoia and secrecy when husband and father Iman is appointed as an investigating judge in Tehran. As political unrest erupts in the streets, Iman imposes draconian measures on his wife Najmeh and daughters Sana and Rezvan, straining family ties as distrust grows.
Winning the Jury Special Prize and Fripresci awards at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, The Seed of a Sacred Fig is an astounding filmic accomplishment in the face of political oppression.
