Iranian short film ‘World Cup’ is set to participate at the Festival Internacional Cine de América (FICAH) in Mexico.

The Iranian Youth Cinema Society reported that ‘World Cup’ will be screened at the fifth edition of the FICAH.

“On the night of a couple's migration, the child of their friend, who has been entrusted to them, gets lost, and then a secret is revealed,” a synopsis for the film reads.
