Description:
In this riveting documentary, acclaimed Iranian director Jafar Panahi captures the essence of his day-to-day existence under house arrest. Confronted with a six-year prison sentence and a twenty-year ban from filmmaking and interaction with foreign press due to his support for Iran's opposition party during the 2009 election, Panahi's story is both personal and political.The film, covertly shot by Panahi's close friend Mojtaba Mirtahmasb, was smuggled into France on a USB stick hidden within a cake for last-minute submission to Cannes Film Festival. As we delve into the director's life, we bear witness to his undeterred spirit and unwavering passion for filmmaking even while confined to his home as he awaits an appeal decision.This intimate documentary offers viewers a rare glimpse into life under house arrest, shedding light on censorship and the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity. The film serves not only as a testament to Panahi's own courage but also as a reflection on freedom of expression and the power of art in challenging times.
