Afrooz is the captain of Iran Futsal National Team, whose long-sought dream, playing in the Asian Games Final has come true at the age of 30 and after 11 years of hard work. She finds out at the airport that her husband, a famous television host, has used his legal right and banned her from exiting the country. The team's security supervisor, her lawyer, and her best friend and teammates all believe that her only solution is to persuade her husband to let her leave the country. Although Afrooz knows she must break her pride and waive her own right by doing so, she decides to convince him in any way possible.

"Cold Sweat" is the story of capable and distinguished women who do not quit fighting although they are fed up with the current laws and "Cold Sweat" has covered their bodies.

FILMOGRAPHY

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

I met a futsal soccer player girl who was a key player in the national team, but her husband banned her from exiting the country before the world tournament and her name was crossed out from the national team. Later, the same happened to women athletes in various sports many times, but they were forgotten with the silence of the media. I saw her again although she had been eliminated everywhere, she was training young players vigorously. She never talked to me about her grief, and she wasn't sorry about her divorce. Story of these women never left me alone and I was determined to make a film about them. After a few months' research and writing the screenplay for 1.5 years, I made a film about great women whose husbands made their worlds small.
