iFilm English TV to air ‘Breath’

iFilm English TV’s movie ‘Breath’ has been scheduled to be aired on October 9, 2021.

Directed by Narges Abyar and produced by her husband Mohammad-Hossein Qasemi, the movie shows how hopes and dreams of many Iranian children 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.

Famous Iranian actors and actresses Gelareh Abbasi, Mehran Ahmadi, Jamshid Hashempour, and Shabnam Moqaddami star in the movie.

‘Breath’ won the Golden Simorgh for Best Film with National View at the 34th Fajr Film Festival held in 2016.

The film has been honored at some international cinematic events, including the Children’s Film Festival Seattle in the US, where it won the Global Zoom Prize.

‘Breath’, made in 2015, is scheduled to go on air at 22:00 GMT.

iFilm English will also repeat the movie the next day at 04:00, 10:00 and 16:00 (all GMT times).
