Ablution explores the inner life of a conservative Muslim woman named Neda and her struggle to reconcile her sexuality and spirituality in 1980s Tehran. Shunned by Iranian society as an “old maid” at a mere 25 years of age, she finds comfort and refuge in her faith. When an unexpected visitor moves into her apartment, Neda makes a fatal decision that forces her to come of age in a remarkable yet unspeakable way.
