First Case, Second Case is a documentary about a teacher who sends a group of pupils out of the classroom when one of them does not own up to talking behind the master’s back.
When a harmless case of classroom misconduct occurs, Abbas Kiarostami imagines two scenarios that might follow: snitching in one case, and a show of solidarity in the other. As adults reflect on this little event, their words resonate profoundly with the fractious atmosphere of revolutionary Iran.
