SYNOPSIS:
Banned in Iran, this taboo-breaking film uses the claustrophobic life of women behind
bars as a metaphor for Iranian society since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Mitra, in prison
for killing her violent stepfather, confronts new warden Tahereh on the eve of a riot, f
earlessly challenging her dogmatic views - which, over time, began to change.
