"Iran in the 1990s. We follow two secret service agents who are out to spy on, torture and murder their fellow men. A quiet, dark and fully concentrated journey into the absolute despair of living under a totalitarian regime. The universal political message is the existence of the film itself. The fact that it exists shows that it is possible to live a self-determined life even under the most horrendous of circumstances and to create an epic work." Tied with
Fire in the Blood (2013).
