Iranian feature ‘Walnut’, directed by Mohammadreza Haji Gholami, will take part at the 42nd LUCAS – International Festival for Young Film Lovers in Germany.
"Walnut’, co-written by Maral Sajjadi and Mohammadreza Haji Gholami, narrates the story of a child who feels like his hands are getting black due to a sense of guilt for what he has done wrong. The feeling coincides with disputes between his parents and their consequent separation. On a trip with his mother to a remote village in the desert to watch the lunar eclipse, he has to deal with and accept the two concepts of guilt and separation.
The Iranian film will be screened at the ‘Feature Film Competition 8+’ section of the festival on 24-25 September. It will compete with seven other titles from India, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Hungary and Singapore.
