A Hero

Winner of the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, two-time Oscar winner Asghar Farhadi returns to Iran, and his native language (following 2018 Spanish feature Everybody Knows), for A HERO.

Rahim (Amir Jadidi) is in prison due to being unable to pay a debt. Securing a two-day leave of absence in an attempt to have the complaint withdrawn, he finds an unattended bag of gold on the street which he promptly returns to its owner. At first Rahim's actions are celebrated by his family and friends but soon his debtor raises suspicions about this act of good will, causing tensions to rise.
