‘Romanticism of Emad and Touba’ vies at Chennai filmfest

Iranian feature ‘Romanticism of Emad and Touba’ has been competing at the Chennai International Film Festival (CIFF) in India.

The Iranian film will compete at the 2022 edition of the festival.

The movie, which enjoys the last appearance of the late actor and ex-footballer Ali Ansarian, will represent Iran at the 2022 edition of the event.

In addition to the late actor, Sara Bahrami is the narrator and Elnaz Habibi and Hessam Mahmoudi have played the leading roles of the film.

Directed by Mehdi Sabbaghzadeh, the film tells the story of a couple, Emad and Touba, who are in deep love, but a harsh encounter helps them to improve their love skills.

A brief synopsis of the romantic fantasy reads, “Emad: I love your bunny teeth. Touba: I haven’t brushed yet”.

Starting in 2003, the CIFF is dedicated to presenting the best of International and Indian films.

This edition of the event is currently underway from December 15 to 22, 2022.
