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

“I’m consumed with your desire!… Literally consumed! I won’t leave you till I have you,” a short synopsis for 'Lasagna' reads.

'Hashtag' depicts some family issues such as the effect of internet and smart phones on family relations.

'Cold Sweat' is a film that focuses on women rights and shows a women futsal team while one of the team members, who is travel-banned, has to deal with a challenge at the airport.
