Iranian judoka Leila (Arienne Mandi) and her coach Maryam (Zar Amir Ebrahimi) arrive at the Judo World Championships in Tbilisi determined to win the first gold medal for Iran. However, during the tournament, they receive an ultimatum from the highest authorities of the Islamic Republic: Leila must fake an injury and lose, or she will be branded a traitor to the nation. With her freedom and her family’s safety on the line, Leila faces a life-changing decision – should she submit to the regime, as her coach insists, or continue to fight for gold? (source: AČFK)
