In the holy city of Mashhad, home to Iran’s largest mosque, a serial killer is on the loose.
With the killer claiming he is doing God’s work by ridding the city of vice, journalist Rahimi (Zar Amir-Ebrahimi, who won Best Actress as Cannes for her performance) travels from Tehran to investigate further, uncovering deep injustices beyond the crimes.
Based on a true story, this is a visceral look at Iran’s power structure in the guise of a pin sharp thriller.
