‘Killing the Eunuch Khan’ to open Munich Cinema Iran Festival

‘Killing the Eunuch Khan’ has been selected as the opening movie at the 2022 edition of the Munich Cinema Iran Festival in Germany.

Directed by Abed Abest, the movie narrating the life story of a serial killer will open the German event on July 13.

Set during the war between Iraq and Iran, a father lives with his two daughters in a big, strangely haunted house in a nearly deserted city close to the border.

One day, he leaves the girls at home alone in order to participate in a funeral ceremony.

That same day, the city is struck by a bombing raid, and a bomb falls in his garden.

From that point on, some sort of ghostly vibration unhinges his own reality, and the world of the dead seems to mingle with the world of the living.

Produced by Shahrzad Seifi, the cast list of the film includes Ebrahim Azizi, Vahid Rad, Misaq Zare, Iman Basim, Sara Mohammadi, and Mahsima Kabari.

The movie has previously participated in a number of international festivals in Taiwan, Brazil, Estonia and India. It won the Breakouts Feature Grand Jury Prize at the 28th edition of the Slamdance Film Festival in the US.
