Rasoulof's film "The Seed of the Sacred Fig" tells the story of a court investigator whose family life is torn apart during Iran's women-led protests.
Iranian rebel director Mohammad Rasoulof made a great escape from his homeland days before his movie, “The Seed of the Scared Fig”, was to play at the prestigious competition slot in the ongoing Cannes Film Festival. The film could remind you of an ever-enduring classic, “The Sound of Music” with Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.
Director Mohammad Rasoulof announced he had fled his home country just days after being sentenced to eight years in prison on security offenses.
Producers of the film faced harassment from state police, as previously disclosed by Paknia on X, and actors were interrogated and barred from leaving the country.
