Iranian cinemas to host 'Beyond the Clouds' in May

Majid Majidi's 'Beyond the Clouds' is scheduled to appear on the Iranian silver screen in May.

The movie that had missed the screening due to dubbing and technical issues in February is to hit Iranian cinemas soon.

‘Beyond the Clouds’ is Majidi’s latest project after his blockbuster ‘Muhammad (PBUH): The Messenger of God’.

Set in the slums of Mumbai in India, Majidi’s melodrama is the tale of a wild kid who deals drugs and crisscrosses with his motorbike across the city to make the next drop.

He reunites with his estranged sister in time to become her lifeline after she is being jailed for attempted murder while defending herself.

Talking about his experience of working with an Indian cast and crew, Majidi said “This is the first feature film I have made outside Iran, and it's an experience I have been waiting for years to happen. ‘Beyond The Clouds’ is an extension of my cinematic beliefs, the roots of which lie in human values, love, friendship and family bonding.”
