‘SLY’ narrates the story of Qodrat who wants to become a member of parliament, but he has a reputation for recklessness and taking arbitrary action.

"In these cold days, in these hard days should I go or should I stay?" a short synopsis for ‘Columbus’ reads.

“It’s 1988 and, at the height of the Iran-Iraq War, Tehran is bombed relentlessly. The days that pass are full of foreboding, and yet, love, affection, hope and life itself manage to sweep away the fear of death from those surrounded by it. Love may often be difficult to comprehend, but death is a horrible certitude,” plot summery for ‘Bomb: A Love Story’ reads.

'Miami Millionaire' narrates the story of four people who want to gain one million dollars but there is always one of them who mess up with the plan.

‘Pastarioni’ is themed on highlighting various types of local food in the country and follows the story of a restaurant offering such delicacies in competition with fast food places.
