Borderlines: The Seed of the Sacred Fig (15)
March 10 @ 2:00 PM
Dissident director Rasoulof personalises dividing lines in Iranian society in a family drama.
Iman sees benefits for his family in his promotion to interrogator for the Islamic Revolutionary Court. His daughters, however, are suspicious of his increasing collaboration with the regime. Encouraged to wave through death sentences, he is warned not to confide in his wife (actor and anti-hijab protester Soheila Golestani). Iman’s divided loyalties are exposed when his government-issued handgun goes missing and suspicion falls on the women at home. Combining an electrifying generational battle with real-life footage of Iran’s contemporary protest movement gives the film a startling relevance. What follows involves supremely dramatic, edge-of-the-seat revelations.
DIRECTOR: Mohammad Rasoulof
CAST: Mahsa Rostami, Setareh Maleki, Niousha Akhshi, Missagh Zareh, Soheila Golestani
