Yousef manages a successful veterinary practice for cattle from a village in the vast Sari region of Iran, regularly visiting remote farms in the surrounding area. During a particularly harsh winter, hungry wolves attack a herd of cattle and Yousef is badly burned when a barn catches fire and he tries to save the cattle inside. This grim succession of events leaves him with an obsessive hatred for wolves that only starts to mellow when he meets a woman who is a keen environmentalist. Against this background, the immediate story revolves around the disappearance of Khorshid, the daughter of Yousef’s friend Khali. The villagers join forces to help search for her until a secret is revealed.

Other movies

WE LIVE IN TIME

Director: John Crowley

Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield bring humour and exceptional personal chemistry to this compelling tale of love, marriage, and heartache. The movie's unique feature is that the narrative skips back and forth in time across a decade so that we absorb all of their lives – highs, lows, romance and parenthood – as a jigsaw puzzle that helps us understand their decisions in the different phases of their relationship. It's a real tearjerker that shows how ambitious chef Almut meets Tobias, a data cruncher whose marriage has just ended, and then they fall in love and have to cope with all the hurdles put in front of them. When Almut decides to enter a high-stakes cooking championship the tension between them boils over.

In-Conversation with Benedict Cumberbatch

Director: Benedict Cumberbatch

Known for his work on screen and stage, Benedict Cumberbatch has received various accolades, including a BAFTA TV Award, a Primetime Emmy Award and a Laurence Olivier Award, in addition to nominations for two Academy Awards and four Golden Globes.

NIGHT OF THE ZOOPOCALYPSE

Director: Ricardo Curtis

When a meteor crashes into Colepepper Zoo, it releases a virus that turns infected animals into slavering zombies. The few remaining unaffected must band together to escape the virus, find a cure and - most importantly - defeat the Bunny King, a mad mutant beast who wants to spread the virus beyond the zoo to animals everywhere. Young wolf Gracie teams up with mountain lion Dan to find and warn her pack; Xavier, the movie-obsessed lemur; Frida, the fiery capybara; ostrich Ash and the untrustworthy monkey Felix make up the rest of the squabbling, motley crew. A colourful tale with echoes of the recent global pandemic, the Zoopocalypse is a treat for adult animation buffs as much as children.

6 AM

Director: Mehran Modiri

Sarah is leaving Teheran for three years to study for her doctorate in Canada. Her flight is at 6 am. After an emotionally fraught final dinner with her family, she heads to an impromptu farewell party at her friend Farida’s apartment, intending to go straight to the airport afterwards. That plan implodes, however, when the morality police swoop in. Drinks are emptied, musical instruments hidden and women put on their overcoats, while Sarah is seized with terror that they will all be arrested – and she, of course, will miss her plane. Mehran Modiri, Iran’s popular satirist, who also has a chilling cameo as a police hostage negotiator, proves here that he is just as at home with a nail-biting drama.
