Synopsis:
The film follows Iranian female judoka Leila and her coach Maryam, who travel to the Judo World Championship, intent on bringing home Irans first gold medal. Midway through the competition, they receive an ultimatum from the Islamic Republic ordering Leila to fake an injury and lose. With her own and her familys freedom at stake, Leila is faced with an impossible choice: feign injury and comply with the Iranian regime as Maryam implores her to do, or defy them both and fight on, for the gold.
