The Guilty is about that This taut film begins with two armed men parked on a dimly-lit, quiet street waiting for a woman, and unfolds unpredictably from here. The men are apprehensive, obviously harbouring illicit intentions. They discuss the risk involved in their task, and the trustworthiness of their female contact, with one man assuring the other that she is reliable. The woman eventually turns up, and leads one man into the house, with him preparing to ambush their target. However, the allegiance of the woman soon becomes dramatically apparent in this tense action thriller. In this film Saman Salur collaborates with Mehdi Boustani, Ali Kamali, Hamidreza Mirhosseini.

A chief commander in the Iranian army wakes up from a coma years after the war in which he fought has ended. Unable to define himself by the conflict anymore, he struggles to move on from what he has always known and find peace within himself. Habit is the hardest addiction to kick...

It's a Sony! is about that Award winning director Saman Salur turns his hand to fly-on-the-wall documentary-making in this short film. It provides a brief but fascinating insight into the lives of three men who, unusually, live by the side of a motorway - in the hollow tower holding up an advertisement for Sony. Providing insight into their habits as they talk and watch TV shows and adverts, 'It's a Sony!' is an unintrusive reflection on their lives, which provides food for thought into the pervasive presence of advertising. In this film Saman Salur collaborates with Amir Hossein Makoui.
Sun Station is about that When the bridge is being renovated, Hassan, who is in charge of the old cable car of the river, finds the opportunity to decide which people can cross the river. Each of them has a different story and a different reason to cross the river by the old cable car. Hassan's friend, Asghar, helps him drive the cable car and take the passengers across the river. The eye-catching central location is a burnt-out train wreck that’s home to Qader, a grumpy old railway employee who shares quarters with Hassan. When the friendship between Hassan and Asghar deepens, they both reach a new understanding of the realities of life and their surroundings... Centered on a trio of misfits whose lives intersect along a railroad line in a remote mountain location, the pic is a visually interesting, emotionally rewarding meditation on loneliness and the healing power of friendship.

Raspberry is about that Rezvan is a surrogate for wealthy couple Hamid and Homa. Despite their different outlooks on the world, the couple have trusted her to carry the child they always wanted. However, when a devastating accident takes place, it looks as if Rezvan will have to give up the child. This is not the least of her worries, as she also has to contend with an emotionally unstable brother-in-law and the painful recollections of her late husband.
