Summary
The latest film by acclaimed Iranian ex-pat director Mohsen Makhmalbaf (Kandahar, The Silence) tells the story of a dictator who is forced to personally confront the many people tortured by his regime after his government is overthrown. The president and his family rule the land with a draconian fist, enjoying a privileged and luxurious existence at the expense of his miserable and oppressed subjects. After a coup d?etat uproots his position of power, the president?s wife and daughters are flown out of the country as he stays behind with his grandson, who is too young to grasp the unfolding events.
