The 11-minute flick, Abdollahi’s directorial debut, has already been screened at a number of film events, including the Asoric Film Festival and the Tassvir Film Festival, both in Iran, the Salerno International Film Festival in Italy, as well as the Evolution! Mallorca International Film Festival in Spain, where it received the Best Short Film Screenplay award.
