Plot

Makhmalbaf and the policeman he stabbed twenty years earlier re-enact the event with younger actors.

Sinekatalog’s take

Mohsen Makhmalbaf re-stages his youthful stabbing of a policeman with the policeman himself and younger actors. Funny, moving and strange, it blurs fact and fiction in a humane meditation on forgiveness.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
