"Shot with precision, written with elegance and unfolding at a thriller-like pace, A Hero should perform very well around the world."—Jason Solomons, The Wrap

The latest from two-time Academy Award-winning director Asghar Farhadi (A Separation, The Salesman) follows Rahim, a calligrapher who has been in prison for a debt he is unable to repay. During a two-day leave, he tries to convince his creditor to withdraw his complaint against the payment of part of the sum with the help of his girlfriend and a scheme that might be too good to be true. As tensions mount and Rahim’s fortunes begin to turn, his newly attained reputation and his precious freedom rest precariously on a house of cards built on white lies threatening to collapse with the slightest wind of truth.
