Program Note
Azim, working as a janitor in Tehran City Hall, is an Afghan refugee. While helping his mother and his brother′s family plan to smuggle themselves into Germany, he feels betrayed by his brother when he abandons their mother. Nonetheless, Azim takes good care of his mother. One day, she ends up hospitalized in critical condition, and the only way to save her is through a kidney transplant. However, it is impossible for a foreigner to get a donor in Iranian society, so Azim tries to donate his kidney, but the doctor has him detained. Jamshid Mahmoudi has dealt with the struggles and difficulties of the Afghan people living in Iran. He attracted the attention with A Few Cubic Meters of Love (2014), inspired by a true story about an unwelcome love between an Iranian worker and an Afghan girl in Kabul. Jamshid is the brother of Navid Mahmoudi, who was invited to New Currents in 2016 with Parting. The brothers team up by changing roles such as a director, producer, and editor, and made very important and interesting works. (Kim Young-Woo)
