A movie born in prison in Tehran at the night of the Oscars
"The Seed of the Sacred Fig" by Mohammad Rasoulof is one of five movies running for Best International Feature Film. It tells the story of repression against freedoms and a clash between generations through the life of a family during the protests that followed the death of Mahsa Amini. It was shot in the Iranian capital eluding censorship by a director now forced to live in exile.
