Athens Marathon to screen Iran’s much-admired ‘Limit’

The Athens Marathon International Film Festival in Greece has scheduled to screen Iranian much-admired short title ‘Limit’.

Directed and written by Javad Daraee, the 8-minute film which is his second flick, chronicles the story of a man in a quiet neighborhood, who asks the people around to help him, when all of a sudden, somebody goes into his home.

Daraee adopts a spiritual viewpoint in his movies, this time utilizing a narrative that aims at challenging the status quo regarding the rights of the disabled.

‘Limit’ depicts the trials and tribulations of handicapped people in their daily lives; issues that irk them given all the snap judgment around.
