The Iranian film won the 'Award of Merit' for the best short film at the 11th edition of IndieFEST Film Awards in the United States.
Directed by Mostafa Mehraban, ‘Cradle of Silence’ is about Rasoul, who has to deliver a cradle to his martyred friend’s widow. With Rasoul returning from the southern war zone to the northern part of the country, his wife Laya plans on going back to the war zone with him. The cradle becomes an excuse for Rasoul to reject his wife’s request.
