Yalda, a Night for Forgiveness

Yalda, a Night for Forgiveness
Maryam is waiting for her death sentence on charges of murdering her husband, Nasser. Nasser’s daughter Mona holds the key to her freedom, as Iranian law permits her to forgive the murderer. She is going to do it live on a reality show.
When millions of people are watching, they both realize that reliving through past lives’ bitterness would interrupt with the decision.

The film shows the complexities of contemporary Iran, and what freedom means within the confinement of patriarchy and traditions of the area.
