Adapted from the French play by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière, this 2015 Iranian production, directed by Lili Rashidi, centers around a family gathering that takes a sharp turn when Vincent, a soon-to-be father, reveals he plans to name his child "Adolf." What starts as a lighthearted conversation quickly spirals into conflict, bringing up buried family secrets and sparking debates over prejudices, societal taboos, and the weight we place on seemingly trivial matters.
