At the Berlinale, Mohammed Rassulof won the Golden Bear for his film. The film was "gentle and devastating" at the same time, said jury president Jeremy Irons at the time.
Berlin – Iranian directors repeatedly celebrate successes at the Berlin Film Festival. Last year, too, the Golden Bear went to an episode film from the country.
In “But there is no evil”, director Mohammed Rassulof deals with the death penalty in his country based on several stories. How do people make decisions – often under extreme conditions? For example, a young conscript who is supposed to carry out a death sentence. Can he pay someone else to take the blame in his place? The film, which is now in theaters a year and a half after receiving the award, addresses such questions.
