No good deed goes unpunished in this morality tale from dual Oscar winner Asghar Farhadi (A Separation, The Salesman, SWIFF’17).
In vibrant, urban Shiraz, calligrapher Rahim (Amir Jadidi) is imprisoned for a mounting debt. Unexpectedly granted a two-day leave of absence, he works to seek amends, banking on a golden opportunity from his partner, the goodwill of his creditor, and support of his young son. Quickly, the consequences of Rahim’s plot become a prison of their own, launching a twisting chain of events.
Farhadi’s richly textured take on gossip and social media is funnelled through his masterful knack for evolving individual stories into powerful metaphors.
"One of the best films of the year." - Rogerebert.com
In Farsi with English subtitles.
