The Seed of the Sacred Fig (Persian: Dāne-ye Anjīr-e Ma'ābed) is a 2024 political drama film written, co-produced, and directed by Mohammad Rasoulof. The film follows Iman, a judge in Tehran's Revolutionary Court, as he descends into paranoia amid escalating nationwide protests sparked by the death of a young woman. When his gun mysteriously goes missing, his growing distrust extends even to his own wife and daughters, pushing him to the edge.
Discussion will be followed after the screening.
