The Seed of the Sacred Fig
-
OT: Dane-ye anjir-e ma’abed
Mohammad Rasoulof delivers a gripping dissident drama, about an official whose ambitions bring him into conflict with his family and the system he serves.
Himself no stranger to the wrath of Iran’s theocratic regime, Rasoulof depicts the dangers of complicity with state repression. Appointed investigator to the Islamic Revolutionary Court, Iman must be above reproach. But the turmoil of a conflicted nation soon manifests itself in his own family. Intense psychological drama fuels a passionate and fearless political cri de cœur.
Awarded the Special Jury Prize, the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury, the FIPRESCI Prize and the Prix des Cinémas Art et Essai at the Cannes Film Festival 2024.
