Iranian director Jafar Panahi, who has been barred from leaving the country, arrives at a village on the Iran-Turkey border to supervise a film based on a real-life couple seeking passports to Europe being shot in Turkey, but both his stay and the production run into trouble.
A chillingly relevant meta-narrative about the suffocating grip of authoritarianism on art and life. The film's tension simmers beneath the surface, reflecting the precariousness of existence on the edge of freedom.
