Plot
An Iranian film director is blacklisted and is barred from directing films, forcing him to go into directing commercials. His actress leaves him to pursue a career with other actors. Whilst this is occurring, Iranian film directors are being killed off one by one, with their heads severed and the word 'pig' imprinted on their foreheads. The blacklisted film director wonders why the serial killer has not come after him.
