Earlier on, the French spectators and critics had well-received the film.

China, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Greece, Turkey and some other Asian and European countries are the other destination of the film soon.

The movie is about Mina, a woman whose life is turned upside down when she learns that her husband Babak was innocent of the crime for which he was executed.

The authorities apologize for the mistake and offer the prospect of financial compensation. Mina starts a silent battle against a cynical system for her own and her daughter’s sake.

Just as her money is running out, a stranger named Reza knocks at her door, saying he has come to repay a debt he owed to Babak. Mina is guarded at first, but increasingly lets Reza into her life, unaware of the secret that ties them to one another.

The cast list of the movie includes Moqaddam, Alireza Sanifar, Farid Qobadi, Lili Farhadpour, and Pouria Rahimi-Sam.

‘Ballad of a White Cow’, which was premiered and won award at the Berlin Film Festival, has already been shown at various global events, including the Tribeca Film Festival in the US, the Melbourne International Film Festival in Australia and the Edinburgh International Film Festival in Scotland.
