The Iranian director always deals with his country’s unjust political system. His drama, which is now being released in cinemas, is about how the state ideology in the form of the father, who is promoted to revolutionary judge just at the time of the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests, poisons the life of his family. A courageous, captivating and openly critical film, the making of which was accompanied by state repression. A conversation about resistance, exile and the role of filmmakers in Iran.
