A stark criticism of the Iranian justice system, Farahbakhsh's film focuses on Mastaneh, an established actress and national star. When she is sexually assaulted by the corrupt Jaami, her sister's piano teacher, Mastaneh appeals to the courts for justice and a fair trial. Already traumatized by Jaami's attack, she receives another shock when the system decides to punish her instead. Sahar Dolatshahi gives a powerful performance as a woman struggling for justice in this unsettling examination of the treatment of women in the legal system.
