Directed by Marzieh Riahi, the 13-minute flick is representing Iran at the competition section of the 2023 edition of the festival.
“To make ends meet, a mother caters for funerals and parties, but her daughter has a different idea about her mother’s job,” a brief synopsis for the film reads.
Linda Kiani, Maryam Boubani, Hilda Kordbache and Hannan Azizi comprise the cast list of the short flick.
Previously, the film took part the Palm Beach International Film Festival in the US, which is among the top independent film events in the world.
The Nickel Independent Film Festival was founded in 2001.
It is “a celebration of local and international independent film”, according to an online submission platform.
This year’s edition of the event is currently underway from June 10-18.
