An anthology of four stories following the lives of individuals confronted with an unfathomable choice and a set of immediate consequences: to follow orders and execute the death sentence or to refuse and suffer the repercussions. An urgent narrative inspired by real-life events from the filmmaker’s own experience, There Is No Evil questions the possibility of individual freedom in the confinements of a tyrannical regime. While Mohammad Rasoulof’s sixth feature has earned him the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, Iranian authorities have censored the film and sentenced him to one year in prison for “propaganda against the system”.
