      ACADEMY AWARD BEST INTERNATIONAL FEATURE NOMINEE!

      Shot entirely in secret, Mohammad Rasoulof's riveting, award-winning thriller, THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG, centers on a family thrust into the public eye when Iman is appointed as an investigating judge in Tehran. As political unrest erupts in the streets, Iman realizes that his job is even more dangerous than expected, making him increasingly paranoid and distrustful, even of his own wife Najmeh and daughters Sana and Rezvan. A searing indictment of oppressive rule, whether it be of a nation or in a household, THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG functions both as compelling drama and powerful political statement.
