Anticlockwise plot

The father of filmmaker Jalal Vafaee, a dedicated watchmaker in the Iranian city of Hamadan, was on the side of the Islamic revolution in his early years. He has since emerged as a reformist democrat, and he has become obsessed with the political news and injustice he sees around him. From his watch shop, he tries to find a way to deal with his disappointment in politics, where his democratic beliefs are not without danger. By revealing his own family story from the years 2011-2019, Vafaee shows how the world of an ordinary Iranian family has changed dramatically over the years. His brother was imprisoned and was scarred for life as a result. His son suffered from his absence and can only express his feelings through his raps.
