16 Frauen schlachtet der „ Spinnenmörder“,
wie ihn die iranische Presse bezeichnet, im Laufe der
Jahre in der iranischen Stadt Mashadd ab und ist für
seine Nachbarn und seinen Sohn ein Held und Verteider
des Glaubens. Die Töchter und Angehörigen
der Opfer sehen dies anders. Erst die iranische Justiz
konnte sein Treiben stoppen. Im Gespräch ist der
Täter von der Richtigkeit seines Handelns überzeugt
und bedauert, dass es ihm nicht möglich war, seine
Stadt von all den sündigen Frauen zu befreien.

Over the space of a year, 16 women were murdered in
the Iranian city of Mashad, dubbed the "Spider
Killings" by the local press because of the manner
in which the killer's victims were lured to their deaths.
All but one of the victims had previously been arrested
for prostitution and drug-related crimes. When a 39-year-old
contractor is arrested and confesses the crimes, he
claims divine support for his crimes. This is a shocking
portrait of the world of a recently arrested serial
killer in Iran who sees his killing of prostitutes as
in accordance with Islamic Teaching. His mother, wife,
son and many neighbours support the reasons for his
motivation behind these crimes but most chilling is
the killer's son as he proudly re-enacts one of the
murders carried out by his father, and suggests that
he wants to grow up to be like his father. The documentary
team also visits the families of the victims, with the
perpetrator's family, and with prostitutes working in
the city. This is a chilling film about cycles or violence
and the debates behind moral beliefs and religion.
