CrimeDramaThriller168 min
As political unrest spreads through Tehran, investigating judge Iman finds his authority at work feeding suspicion at home after his gun disappears. Missagh Zareh is Iman, a Revolutionary Court judge whose fear and mistrust turn toward his wife and two daughters as protests intensify outside their apartment. Setareh Maleki and Mahsa Rostami are the daughters caught inside the tightening rules he imposes, where ordinary family conflicts become entangled with state power. The fictional story is interwoven with images from the 2022–2023 protests in Iran, grounding the family’s breakdown in the pressure of a city in upheaval.
