'Bleeding Heart' is an absorbing death row drama revolving around the moral dilemmas of redemption and the unforgiving trauma of loss. When public defender Delaram is charged with taking on the case of Emad, it immediately puts a strain on her marriage. With Emad awaiting execution for murdering his wife, Delaram's husband cannot accept her role in his defence, and their differences about the case ultimately cut right to the heart of gender roles in modern Iranian marriages. As the case progresses, Delaram's growing sympathy for the repentant Emad and her complex involvement with his family draw her headlong into a much more complex problem of life and death.
