TEHRAN, Jul. 11 (MNA) – Iranian short animated piece ‘Am I A Wolf?’, directed by Amir Houshang Moein, has won the special award at the Lisbon Animation Festival in Portugal.

The Iranian animation won the special award at the Portuguese film festival which was held online due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

‘Am I A Wolf?’ depicts a number of students who are performing a play called "The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats".

At the end, the presence of other children and his friends next to him take him out of this gloomy atmosphere.
