Tehran Tajik’s film Fish on the Hook by Muhyiddin Muzafa, a co-production between Iran and Tajikistan, currently competes in the 30th edition of the Schlingel International Film Festival for children and young audiences at Chemnitz, Germany.
The film is about Daler, a 10-year-old boarding school student. He is on a journey to find his mother, Khursheda, with gambler Samad. Along the way, they face a variety of challenges that will help Dahlers mature and understand the importance of choice. When he meets his mother, the boy must make a fateful decision that can change his life forever.
“Fish on the Hook” is produced by the newly established film Studio Dovfilm, and is produced in collaboration with TV company Ifilm and Iranian partners of 30 Cup and Tajikfilm.
The concept of this film was developed in 2022 in collaboration with the director of a boarding school in Baston, Tajikistan. The script was originally written by Bakhtiyar Karimov. It was later revised under the guidance of the workshop of Valy Ahdov, thanks to a contribution from Muhyiddin Muzafah.
