The Salesman

Tehran actors Emad and Rana leave their damaged building for an apartment previously occupied by a woman with unknown visitors. After Rana is assaulted there, Emad begins identifying the intruder while both continue rehearsing Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.

Cracked walls, keys, a pickup truck, stairwells, stage rehearsals, and partial neighbor accounts make evidence socially charged—Taraneh Alidoosti's Rana and Shahab Hosseini's Emad reveal incompatible needs for recovery and punishment.
