Trailer for 'The Seed of the Sacred Fig', the film that Germany will send to the Oscars.
In the fall of 2022, the death of the 23-year-old Mahsa Amini caused a wave of revolts throughout the country as a symbol of resistance against the repression of women. The movements that occurred at the Polytechnic University of Tehran stood out within these demonstrations. Hundreds of protesters fought for their rights.
Within this panorama we turn to the investigating judge Rezvan (Mahsa Rostami), who daily lives in danger due to political conflicts that chant 'Woman, life and freedom'. Despite this, he lives his life peacefully because the government has entrusted him with a gun so that he can personally protect himself of any type of problem.
However, his situation at home suddenly changes when the gun disappears. Since the one who stole it does not appear, Rezvan begins to suspect of his wife and daughters. Over time, the tension in the home reaches such a point that the father of the family takes repressive measures to make the gun appear at once.
