Shot entirely in secret, The Seed of the Sacred Fig is an epic anti-patriarchal thriller from director Mohammad Rasoulof, a target of Iran’s government for his films’ criticism of the state.
Drama • Political • Critically Acclaimed
Longtime government worker Iman has just received a major promotion to the hopeful delight of his wife. At the same moment, a series of student protests against the government have exploded in the streets, stoking the sympathies of their independent-minded daughters. The growing wedge between progressive children and traditional parents intensifies through a series of unsettling events that put Iman's future in jeopardy.
The Seed of the Sacred Fig won a Special Prize from the jury and three other awards on its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
