Tatami

The young and ambitious Iranian judoka Leila is travelling to the Judo World Championships in Tbilisi with her coach Maryam. When it emerges during the competition that she could face a rival from Israel, the Tehran regime becomes nervous. To avoid the humiliation of a possible defeat, Leila is given an ultimatum: She is to fake an injury and pull out of the competition. Should she refuse and continue to fight, she would immediately be considered a traitor to the state. Leila has to make a serious decision that affects not only herself, but also her family in Iran and her trainer, whose freedom and safety are also at stake. A highly suspenseful political thriller.
