Tatami

A gripping political sports thriller shot in striking black and white, marking a historic collaboration between an Israeli director and an Iranian filmmaker.

The film follows Leila, an Iranian judoka competing at the World Championships, who receives an ultimatum from her country’s regime: fake an injury and withdraw from the competition to avoid facing an Israeli athlete.

Forced into an impossible situation, Leila must choose between pursuing her lifelong dream and protecting herself and her family from the consequences of defying the authorities.
