Taghi, Homa and Mazyar were arrested and interrogated by the Iranian regime. All three testify with their bodies, with their gestures and tell what it means to resist, what it means to break. Is there any hope that the torturer will one day reconnect with his conscience?

Director’s bio
After graduating as an architect in Paris, Mehran Tamadon chose to focus solely on directing documentary films. His first work, Behesht Zahra, Mothers of Martyrs debuted in 2004. His second production Bassidji (2010) was done as an attempt to dialogue with the defenders of the Iranian regime. He continued this approach with Iranian (2014), where he convinced supporters of the regime to live in cohabitation with him. His two new productions, My Worst Enemy and Where God Is Not, both presented at the Berlinale in 2023, deal with the violence of interrogation and detention in Iran.
