Synopsis
Four moral tales about men faced with a simple yet unthinkable choice – to follow orders to enforce the death penalty, or resist and risk everything. Whatever they decide, it will directly or indirectly affect their lives, their relationships, and their consciences.

Our take
A sharp criticism of the death penalty, Mohammad Rasoulof’s Golden Bear-winning film was secretly shot in defiance of his government, which considers his works to engage in propaganda against the regime. Overcoming any barriers, the Iranian auteur tells us a brave and impassioned moral tale.
