Film buffs, this movie is very promising, and I'm looking forward to watching it together.

We'll grab dinner nearby at 6:15 pm, with the movie starting at 7:50 pm.
Cinema Nova runs films at a reduced price on Monday, so it's a great day for movie-goers!

Celebrated Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof (There Is No Evil) directs a powerful political drama spotlighting the ongoing political unrest in Tehran.

Shot entirely in secret, 'The Seed of the Sacred Fig' centres on a family thrust into a life of paranoia and secrecy when husband and father Iman is appointed as an investigating judge in Tehran. As political unrest erupts in the streets, Iman imposes draconian measures on his wife Najmeh and daughters Sana and Rezvan, straining family ties as distrust grows.

Winning both the Jury Special Prize and Fripresci awards at the Protected content Film Festival, 'The Seed of the Sacred Fig' is an astounding filmic accomplishment in the face of political oppression.
