Iranian movie ‘Pari’ reveals photos

Iranian movie ‘Pari’, written and directed by Siamak Etemadi, has revealed photos.

The 101-minute movie is about Pari. Stunned to discover that her son has vanished while studying abroad in Athens, Pari sets off on a desperate search across the Greek capital to find him.

Navigating a foreign and forbidding landscape, Pari is forced out from the shadow of her spouse to take the lead in the search for her child.

The feature debut from Iranian-Greek director portrays a woman who finds unsuspected depths of courage within herself.

The movie has been picked among the 20 Best West Asian Films of 2020 by the Asian Movie Pulse website.

Melika Foroutan, Shahbaz Noshir, Sofia Kokkali, Lena Kitsopoulou, Argyris Padazaras, and Dimitris Xanthopoulos are on the cast list of the movie.

Produced in Greece, France, the Netherlands, and Bulgaria, ‘Pari’ has been screened at global events such as the Berlinale in Germany, the Persian Film Festival in Australia, and the Zagreb Film Festival in Croatia, and the Sofia International Film Festival in Bulgaria.

“Babak, an Iranian student in Greece, doesn’t show up to welcome his visiting parents at the Athens airport. Pari and her older husband, both devout Muslims abroad for the first time, are ill-prepared to search for their son in an intimidating and alien environment. All their attempts to find a clue that might lead them to him prove to be in vain and they soon reach a dead end. But Pari can't give up looking for him... Following the steps of her rebellious son in the darkest corners of the city, she will exhaust her inner strength to achieve more than a mother's search for her missing son,” the website of the Sofia gala wrote about ‘Pari’.
