Synopsis : In Tehran, investigating judge Iman faces growing paranoia and mistrust during political turmoil. Assigned by the authoritarian government, he’s expected to issue death sentences without review and keep his position secret. When his government-issued gun vanishes, he suspects his wife Najmeh and daughters, Rezvan and Sana, enforcing strict measures on them. As protests intensify, family tensions peak, especially after Rezvan’s friend is injured during a demonstration. Iman’s suspicion escalates to interrogations and confinement of his family, ending in a confrontation where Sana escapes. Their clash leaves Iman injured, and the film closes with haunting protest footage across Tehran’s streets
