Tatami

Iranian female judokas Leila (Mandi) and her coach Maryam (Amir), travel to the Judo World
Championship, intent on bringing home Iran’s first gold medal. Midway through the Judo World
Championships, they receive an ultimatum from the Islamic Republic ordering Leila to fake an injury
and lose, or she will be branded a traitor of the state. With her own and her family’s freedom at stake,
Leila is faced with an impossible choice: comply with the Iranian regime as her coach Maryam implores
her to do, or fight on, for the gold.
TATAMI is the first feature film to be co-directed by an Iranian and an Israeli filmmaker.
