Nima Eghlima's 'Amir' vies in Morocco

Iran feature film 'Amir' has been competing at the 2018 edition of Rabat Auteur International Film Festival in Morocco.

Directed by Nima Eghlima, the social drama is currently attending the competition section of the Moroccan film event.

'Amir' is a film about contemporary Iran; about a generation whose private lives are determined more by the rules of society than by their own will.

 A brief synopsis of the film reads, 'Amir goes to pick his friend Ali from the airport, where he finds out that Ali's ex-wife, Ghazal has taken her son Ardalan with her illegally and most probably will emigrate soon. Despite all his personal problems, Amir takes Ali to his office to help him find his ex-wife and son.'

Some of the cast members of the flick are Milad Keymaram, Hadi Kazemi, Vahid Manafi, Mona Qasemi and Sahar Dolatshahi.

The Rabat Auteur International Film Festival is dedicated to the cinematic authorship, a true cinema of art and thought in all forms; even those who destroy the clichés.

The 23rd edition of the festival has been underway since November 16 and is set to wrap up on November 24, 2018.
