‘Simulation’ official poster unveiled

The poster for Iranian movie ‘Simulation’ as Iran’s only representative at the forum section of Berlin International Film Festival in Germany has been unveiled.

Directed by Abed Abset, the movie is about three young people who are looking for a place in their hometown to have an enjoyable time over the weekend.

While discussing over a variety of options, they finally decide on the house of an old man. In the past, they have only visited him once and do not have any particular close relations with him.

The movie is to be screened five different times on the festival’s schedule and is predicted to have more than 3,000 people in attendance in total.
