‘Sheeple’ crowned best at Cinema Cinema Academy Awards

Iran film ‘Sheeple’ has received Best Director, Best Actor Awards at the 2nd Cinema Cinema Academy Awards.

In the 2nd Cinema Cinema Academy Awards ceremony Hooman Seyyedi the director and Navid Mohammadzadeh the actor of the flick received the Awards.

The award is a bronze statue of a mandrake (mehrgiah) with five leaves placed on a rock-shaped stand. It is considered to be a mythical plant and the symbol of fertility, love and unity in Iranian culture.

‘Sheeple’ is about Shahin, a loud-mouthed fellow adopted years ago, who tries to establish his authority in a family run by the iron hand of his drug lord brother.

“Two brothers are running and making Crystal meth in a hidden laboratory in middle of nowhere of an urban jungle and they do care for the honor of their neighborhood. All of a sudden a mobile footage on their sister’s spreading everywhere and this causes some strange incidents,” a short synopsis of the flick reads.
