Iranian superstar Taraneh Alidoosti (The Salesman) leads dystopian and nail-biting thriller where a married couple thinks they’ve found their doppelgängers in pouring rain in Tehran.

In the city center, Farzaneh sees a person who resembles her husband Jalal. Believing that Jalal is away, she follows the man to a house where he meets another woman. Convinced she was right, she confronts her husband, but he maintains his alibi. She continues to pull strings and discovers something disturbing. The continuation develops into an acute mystery that will keep the viewer glued to the seat until the last frame. Once two of Iran’s best actors, Taraneh Alidoosti (who was put in prison in December for protesting against the violence against critics of the regime) and Navid Mohammadzadeh (No Date, No Signature) step into the dense world of filmmaker Mani Haghighi, nothing is as it seems.
