Investigating judge Iman grapples with paranoia amid political unrest in Tehran. When his gun vanishes, he suspects his wife and daughters, imposing draconian measures that strain family ties as societal rules crumble.
Acclaimed filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulouf has never held back: his films are sharp incisions into the political tissue of Iranian society and The Seed of the Sacred Fig makes no exception. This monumental work won the director the Special Jury and the FIPRESCI prizes at this year’s Cannes Film Festival with a bold story set against a backdrop of the 2022 protests.
Spoken in Farsi with English subtitles.
Director: Mohammad Rasoulof
Cast: Soheila Golestani, Missagh Zareh, Mahsa Rostami
