22nd TDF: Greek Premiere

Asho is a shepherd child who enjoys life in the hillsides of Iran. His sheep are all named after celebrities: actors, actresses, and politicians depending on their hairstyle. Asho is the most peculiar case of a film buff you ’ll ever get to meet. He watches tons of movies on his cracked tablet while on the fields and dreams of becoming a cinema icon. Along the way, he is expected to marry his cousin Pira to whom he is pledged. A landscape of stunning beauty and dreamlike frames provides the ideal backdrop for this romantic portrait of a natural-born star.
