Narges Mohammadi has been arrested sixteen times over two decades of campaigning against Iran's treatment of women, and she is in Tehran's Evin prison when the Nobel committee awards her the Peace Prize she cannot travel to collect. Filmmaker Katja Deiß builds the portrait around messages Mohammadi managed to smuggle out of her cell, along with footage from a documentary Mohammadi herself shot during a brief period of release. The film lays out what she calls "white torture": permanently lit, windowless two-by-three-meter isolation cells designed to strip prisoners of any sense of time or body, used to extract false confessions that can lead to execution. Interviews with former detainees describe the psychological aftermath, including suicides after release. The film connects Mohammadi's case to the "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests that spread across Iran, framing her prize as recognition of that wider movement as much as her own record of imprisonment.
