Legacy

A powerful dictator contemplates launching a nuclear strike, haunted by memories of his daughter’s innocence and joy. Torn between duty and conscience, he experiences a nightmarish vision of war, cruelty, and mass suffering. In a surreal journey through explosions, closed elevators, and endless corridors, the boundaries of reality collapse, revealing the devastating human cost of power and violence.

Written & Directed by Amirmehdi Tavakolian (Islamic Republic of Iran)
