Synopsis
Humble and devout Muharrem lives in a solitary and meager existence of prayer and sexual abstinence. His extraordinary devotion attracts the attention of the Sheikh of an Istanbul Sufi order who offers him an administrative post as a manager for the seminary properties that support a school for orphans and poor children. Muharrem's new job throws him into the modern outside world he has not experienced before. He soon witnesses conflicting attitudes and dilemmas towards alcohol, charity and honesty. He notices that he himself has become proud, domineering and even dishonest. To make matters worse, Muharrem's inner peace is unnerved by the tormenting image of a seductive woman who tempts him in his dreams, both night and day. With the balance of his devotion now upset, his fear of God begins to eat away at his senses. He remains steadfast seeking forgiveness from Allah and guidance from his Sheikh in whom he has complete faith.Actors

Submission décrit quatre femmes incarnées par la même actrice voilée, vêtue d'un tchador transparent, son corps nu tatoué de versets du Coran. Ces personnages sont des musulmanes qui ont été maltraitées de différentes façons. Le film fait entendre les monologues de ces femmes, en soulignant trois versets du Coran appelant à de bons comportements au sein du couple, le rôle de l'homme et de la femme dans une relation pieuse, ainsi que des règles régissant le divorce et la réconciliation ; puis citant une certaine supériorité de l'homme par rapport à la femme, d'une façon très complexe, livrée à plusieurs interprétations, en les montrant inscrits sur le corps des femmes.

Le maire d'un quartier vétuste et cosmopolite de la périphérie de Paris, où combines et système D règnent en maître, aspire à un peu de calme pour préparer sa ré-élection. Il passe un marché avec Slimane et Majid, deux petits voyous reconvertis pour l'occasion en pseudo imams. Ces derniers lui promettent, moyennant subventions, de faire régner l'ordre jusqu'aux élections en recrutant les jeunes désœuvrés. Seulement ils avaient oublié le concert de Raporiental, le groupe de Raï de Rachid et Cheb Krimo.

Boualem arrache, sur son immeuble, un haut-parleur diffusant la parole de l'imam, car cela l'empêchait de dormir (il travaille de nuit).

The film is divided into ten scenes, each of which depict a conversation between an unchanging female driver (played by Mania Akbari) and a variety of passengers as she drives around Tehran. Her passengers include her young son (played by Akbari's real life son, Amin Maher), her sister, a bride, a prostitute, and a woman on her way to prayer. One of the major plots during the film is the driver's divorce from her (barely seen) husband, and the conflict that this causes between mother and son.

A sophomore majoring in engineering, Yusef (Bobby Naderi) seeks living quarters with fellow Muslims after a year in the godless dorms. He moves—rather improbably, given his conservative nature—into a building inhabited by various punky misfits (it is unclear whether they are also students) wrestling with their cultural and religious identity. Or, as red-mohawked guitarist Jehangir (Dominic Rains) puts it, their "mismatching of disenfranchised subcultures."
