When her parents were accused of murdering a girl and thus killed by the villagers, Shadi was only a little girl. She was, then, adopted by her uncle and grew up. Shadi must now face the problems that the village residents cased them.

Sarina Yousefi, Fariba Talebi, Saeed Ahmadi, Fariba Torkashvand and Farahnaz Manafizaher are some of the cast members of the flick.

‘Metamorphosis in the Slaughterhouse’ has already been screened at a number of global events, including the Int’l filmfest Cyprus and the Efebo d’oro Int’l Cinema and Narrative Award in Italy.

The Veracruz World Film Festival accepts independent films made with very small or even no budget movies, which have no strong support.
