What “friendship” could mean in our nowadays contexts,
how people “change” in “different circumstances” and how a “cultural-clash” could
break relationships in an eye-blink, and finally, is “multiculturalism”, the mingle
of Europeans with the “non-European newcomers” in this continent “still
functional” or is it already “failed”?
They are some of the questions that came in Amin
Wahidi’s mind to write and direct his new film,”The Persian Dinner”.
The Afghanistani filmmaker, who lives and works in Italy, is making his first feature film Italy with the subject of “multiculturalism” in this country.
“The Persian Dinner”
A young couple organizes
a Persian dinner with the help of their Persian friends and invite a couple of
producers to get a film project produced, but all goes wrong during the discussions
after dinner as different secrets reveal among the invitees one after the
other.
“The Persian Dinner” will be shot in Milan in 2015.
