Eight and a Half Minutes(2016)

Eight and a Half Minutes is an Iranian drama centered on a tragic accident that sets off a legal and moral crisis. A father and son die en route to the hospital, but the coroner's report reveals the son died 8.5 minutes before his father—a distinction that triggers an unexpected inheritance law. The entire estate passes to Ehsan, the younger son, leaving Yekta, his brother's widow, in financial hardship. The film explores the collision between legal technicality and human compassion as the family grapples with loss, obligation, and the question of what justice truly means when the law and conscience diverge.
