When Tarlan witnesses her friend murdered by her husband, she goes to the police, who turn their backs. He’s a powerful figure in the Iranian government, but against all odds Tarlan pushes forward, risking everything, to bring justice to her friend.

Her friend’s killer is a private citizen who works behind the scenes to circumvent sanctions against Iran, and is thus spared any justice. But Tarlan proves to be a dogged pursuer, who will not be silenced. Directed by Nader Saeivar, and co-written by Jafar Panahi (No Bears), his first picture since being imprisoned briefly in 2022.
