US University to screen Iran film

Iran movie ‘Breath’ is to be screened at University of California, Los Angeles in the US.

Directed by Narges Abyar, the film is to be displayed at the theater hall of the American university.

Iranian director/writer Abyar’s movie ‘Breath’ shows how hopes and dreams of many Iranian children were shattered by the flames of the war that Iraq lit in 1980.

The story of the film begins in the late 1970s in a suburb of Karaj, where Bahar, Nader, Kamal and Maryam live with numerous colorful dreams of their childhood along with their father and granny. The mother of the household, however, has died a few years ago.

The father, who suffers from asthma, works for a shoemaking company. In her dreams, Bahar, who narrates the story of the film, wishes to treat him when she becomes a doctor.

Iranian actors and actresses Gelare Abbasi, Mehran Ahmadi, Jamshid Hashempour, and Shabnam Moqaddami star in ‘Breath’.

‘Breath’ won the Golden Simorgh for Best Film with National View at the 34th Fajr Film Festival held in February, 2016. The film has been acclaimed at various international cinematic events as well.
