Iman has just been promoted to investigating judge at the Revolutionary Court in Tehran when a huge protest movement sweeps the country following the death of a young woman. Although the demonstrations increase and the state takes increasingly harsh measures, Iman decides to side with the regime, upsetting the balance of his family.
An angry and blunt reckoning with the unjust regime in Iran, told as a brilliant, breathless political thriller and filled with authentic images of the protests in the fall of 2022 that shook the country to its foundations.
