Iran 'Paradise' tapped in Sweden

Iran film 'Paradise' directed by Ali Atshani is set to compete at 2018 High Coast International Film Festival in Sweden.

The film narrates the story of two seminary students who wish to attend an academic seminar on religions in Germany. Their teacher, however, doesn't give them the permission to do so.

The two young men convince the teacher to even go with them, though.

Now the three are on a mission to show the true face of Islam to the world and draw a line between the real Islam and the fake divisions.

Mohammad-Javad Ezzati and Mehran Rajabi are two of the Iranian actors who play starring roles in the film. Some German actors have also appeared in the flick.

The High Coast International Film Festival is a two day event which is held in the High Coast of North Sweden focusing on avant-garde and experimental films.

The 2018 festival is slated for August 25-26.
