In The Seed of the Sacred Fig, Iman works as an investigating judge at the Revolutionary Court in Tehran.

As the nationwide political protests against the authoritarian government intensify, he is surrounded by suspicion and paranoia.

When his gun vanishes, Iman suspects his wife Najmeh and his daughters Rezvan and Sana, imposing draconian measures that strain family ties as societal rules crumble. 

 

‘As a title, The Seed Of The Sacred Fig sounds like a parody of a Middle Eastern movie Jerry, George and Elaine might have gone to see on Seinfeld. But the actual film couldn’t be more genuine and vital.’ Empire ★★★★☆
