The 29th edition of the Ciné Junior International Youth Cinema Festival in France has honored Iranian feature ‘Dressage’.

The Iranian drama won the College Students Prize of the French event in Paris, the organizers announced on February 25.

Directed by Pouya Badkoubeh and produced by Samira Baradari, the 95-minute feature tells the story of Golsa and her friends who, motivated primarily by boredom rather than greed, decide to rob a corner shop.
