Directed by Amir Ahmad Ansari, Rabies is a social drama displaying problems and relationships in Tehran's context.
"I just risked to fix everything or nothing ... I would do anything for our child not to grow up in streets where I did," the plot summary reads.
The movie focuses on a fact which says “if the perfect solution is not found for problems soon, the society will expect unpleasant consequences.”
A joint work by Mehdi Madadkar and Ali Shah Hatami in 2014, Rabies stars Milad Keimaram, Hengameh Ghaziani, and Jamshid Hashempour, the 1990s star of the Iranian cinema.
Rabies has already been featured in prominent festivals of Montreal, Toronto, London, Istanbul, and Fajr.
