The Seed of the Sacred Fig

(Dane-ye anjir-e ma'abed)


Shot entirely in secret, Iranian director Mohammad Rasoulof’s award-winning thriller centres on a family thrust into the public eye when Iman (Missagh Zareh) is appointed as an investigating judge in Tehran. As political unrest erupts in the streets, Iman realizes that his job is even more dangerous than expected, making him increasingly paranoid and distrustful, even of his own wife Najmeh (Soheila Golestani) and daughters Sana (Setareh Maleki) and Rezvan (Mahsa Rostami) . 

The fictional narrative is combined with real images of the protests that were violently suppressed by the Iranian authorities.
