Witness
A woman strives to find witnesses to testify in court according to Islamic laws in order to save her father from execution.

A seven-year-old girl and her father visit a beautiful old house in Tehran, filled with valuables, long abandoned after its owner’s death. Everything seems normal until the girl suddenly disappears.


WHAT WE LOVE:

As little girls, we were all told how to behave, where to wait, and what to do when our parents were busy. How many of us just wanted to run away from all the rules? And what IS her father really doing in that house?
