SEVEN DAYS

by Ali Samadi Ahadi

synopsis

46-year-old Iranian human rights activist Maryam, who has spent the last six years in prison, has been granted a rare seven-day medical leave. Unbeknownst to the authorities, her brother Nima and her husband Behnam have devised a daring plan to smuggle Maryam out of Iran and reunite her with her family.
