When the Fig Tree Breaks Free
Manage episode 446424678 series 3608617
A seemingly “improperly worn headscarf” sparked protests in the real-world Iran, and in The Seed of the Sacred Fig, this intense conflict is merely the surface trigger for a deeper web of issues. At its core, the film explores how enforcers, participants, and bystanders alike have been trapped in centuries-old confines, so paralyzed by fear that they see no escape. Rather than dwelling on the violence itself, Rasoulof shifts the narrative focus inward, zooming in on the unraveling of a single family under pressure.
