Tatami

The young and ambitious Iranian judoka Leila is travelling to the Judo World Championships in Tbilisi with her coach Maryam. Her biggest dream: to bring home the first gold medal for Iran. When it emerges during the competition that she could face a rival from Israel, the Tehran regime gets 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 coach, whose freedom and safety are also at stake.
