Afsaneye mah-palang

Directed by Mohammad Ali Sajjadi

Tragedy strikes a young couple on their wedding day when the groom is attacked and killed by a wild animal. The groom's brother and grieving bride set out on a perilous trip into the forest to seek out the beast and take revenge for the death of their loved one. The film is set in a rural space and beautifully shot, drawing visual inspiration from Bahram Beyzai's 'Bashu the Little Stranger'.
