The Seed Of The Sacred Fig
Violence & content that may disturb
Family bonds unravel and generations clash in this extraordinary drama from acclaimed filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof. Shot in secret and resulting in the persecution of its director, who was eventually forced to flee Iran, The Seed of the Sacred Fig combines gripping storytelling with real-life footage of recent protests in Iran, capturing a family's turmoil amid a society in upheaval. In Tehran, Iman and his family celebrate his recent promotion to an investigating judge. As public protests erupt against compulsory hijab, the dynamics within his family begin to shift. When his service weapon goes missing, Iman becomes
increasingly paranoid, even suspecting his own wife Najmeh and daughters Sana and Rezvan.
