TEHRAN – Two Iranian films will go on screen at the 23rd Palm Springs International ShortFest, which will be held in the U.S. city from June 20 to 26.

“Retouch” by Kaveh Mazaheri and “Lunch Time” by Alireza Qasemi will compete with over 300 movies from around the world.

“Retouch” is about a young woman whose husband is trapped under a barbell during a workout, but she declines to save him and, consequently, he dies.

“Lunch Time” tells the story of a 16-year-old girl, who deals with the harsh bureaucracy to fulfill her responsibility of having to identify the body of her mother.
