Manzar, a woman set in her rigid ways and beliefs, has been ostracized by her family and now ekes out a lonely existence. One day, she suddenly receives a call from her sister: her niece has been arrested for not wearing a hijab. Despite implorations from her family, Manzar sticks to her fundamentalist beliefs - her niece, an unbeliever, ought to be punished for the sin she’s committed. Finding herself all alone in a changing world, and increasingly racked by fear and guilt, Manzar begins to pray for heavenly deliverance.
Directed by Manijeh Hekmat, Faeze Azizkhani
