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.

We did everything with a student-like budget." (Mohammad Rasoulof)
