Iman, a devout and honest lawyer, lives with his wife Najmeh and their daughters Rezvan and Sana. He has recently been appointed as an investigating judge in the Revolutionary Court in Tehran. The position provides him a higher salary and a larger apartment for his family. As the nationwide political protests against the authoritarian government unfold, Iman discovers that he was not hired because of his legal qualities. He is expected to approve judgments presented to him without assessing the evidence, including death sentences. Meanwhile, Rezvan and Sana follow the protests in horror and rebel against their father. The relationship between parents and daughters deteriorates increasingly.

"Generally, restrictions make you more creative. You have to find solutions. You have to develop your imagination. We worked with a very small camera and had almost no technical materials. I owe this film to my crew specifically my DP, who is an extremely powerful creative artist. And, to be honest, you should always avoid having professional equipment in Iran because if the security forces come and raid your office, they take everything with them. So the lighter, the better. We did everything with a student-like budget." (Mohammad Rasoulof)
