After a long discussion, they leave the scene all confused and frightened, and go to the house of one of their friends to think it over and do the right thing. But their initial talk about the accident is soon replaced by discussions of hidden secrets.

In addition, Sara Bahrami won the award for best actress for her role in the Iranian drama “Axing”.

“Axing” by director Behruz Shoeibi was nominated in six categories, including best film, best director, best actor and best actress.

The film is about Mahsa, an addicted woman who thinks that her girl is dead but when she finds out that her daughter is alive and lives with her father (Mahsa’s ex-husband), she decides to take her back. This forces her to face her ex-husband and his new wife.
