Heshmat (Ehsan Mirhosseini) is an unassuming family man whose job gives him pause for fearsome thought. Pouya (Kaveh Ahangar) is a young man on military service faced with an unconscionable dilemma. Javad (Mohammad Valizadegan) is a soldier who wants to marry his girlfriend but faces an awful obstacle. And Bahram (Mohammad Seddighimehr) has a secret he struggles to tell his niece. Through these four distinct yet related stories, Rasoulof quietly builds his case against a country that executes more people than any other on Earth – and which led to him receiving a one-year prison sentence. Powerful and unmissable.
