"A searing political thriller a winner in front of and behind the camera"
The Hollywood Reporter
The young and ambitious Iranian judoka Leila (Arienne Mandi) travels to the Judo World Championships in Tbilisi together with her coach Maryam (Zar Amir). Her biggest dream: to bring home the first gold medal for Iran. When, during the course of the competition
she could face a rival from Israel, the Tehran regime becomes nervous.
To avoid the humiliation of a possible defeat, Leila is given an ultimatum: She is to fake an injury and pull out of the competition. Should she refuse and continue to fight, she would immediately be considered a traitor to the state. Leila has to make a serious decision that affects not only herself, but also her family in Iran and her coach, whose freedom and safety are also at stake.
