Iman’s appointment to a senior position in the Iranian judiciary ignites a family conflict when his daughters sympathize with the protests against the regime. When his gun disappears, the tension within the family reaches new heights. Mohammad Rasoulof, one of the greatest directors working today, knows how to translate political and ideological struggles into dramatic questions within the family and society, using cinematic techniques that captivate both the senses and the mind. His new film, The Seed of the Sacred Fig, which he completed before fleeing Iran, won the special jury prize at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and is one of the year’s most significant cultural events.
