Mina’s life is turned upside down after learning that her husband Babak was innocent of the crime for which he was executed. Running out of money, when a stranger knocks at her door to repay a debt he owed Babak, she lets him into her life unaware of the secret that ties them to one another. (MUBI)

Observed each year on 10 October, World Day Against The Death Penalty unifies the global abolitionist movement and mobilizes civil society, political leaders, lawyers, public opinion and more to support the call for the universal abolition of capital punishment. This year's theme, The Death Penalty Protects No One, challenges the misconception that the death penalty can make people and communities safer. Learn more about it here.
