There Is No Evil 15
There Is No Evil is an affecting Iranian anthology film showcasing four stories of lives forever altered by the death-penalty.
Four men are faced with an unthinkable but simple choice. Whatever they decide, it will directly or indirectly corrode themselves, their relationships, and their entire lives.
1 – There Is No Evil
40-year-old Heshmat is a kind and pleasant family man. He has a peaceful life with his wife and young daughter. He feels caught up in a daily routine. He makes enough money to support his family, but we see in his eyes that they are living with a secret.
2 – She Said ‘You Can Do It’
Pouya has just begun his mandatory 2-year military service. With an honourable discharge, he will be able to apply for a passport and realize his dream of leaving Iran to live abroad with his girlfriend. After only one week of basic training, he is faced with a dilemma. He has a long night ahead of him; a night when Pouya must decide between his dreams or what he believes.
3 - Birthday
Javad is a young soldier who has been given three days leave from his base. He travels to be with Nana, his fiancée, for her birthday. He has brought a ring and plans to propose to her during the party. After arriving at Nana’s home, he learns that a death of a close family friend has caused them to cancel the celebration. The secret of this stranger’s death disrupts Javad and Nana’s lives.
4 – Kiss Me
A middle-aged couple, Bahram and Zaman, live in the countryside where they raise bees and are well liked and respected by their neighbours.
