The Seed of the Sacred Fig
Shot entirely in secret, Mohammad Rasoulof’s award-winning thriller THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG follows a family thrust into the public eye when Iman 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 and daughters.

“A thriller of propulsive skill and blunt emotional force.”
