TEHRAN -- Iranian films “The Last Step” and “My Tribe” are competing in the 17th edition of the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK), which is currently underway in Thiruvananthapuram.
Directed by Ali Mosaffa, “The Last Step” is an entry in the World Competition section.
The film is about Leila, a movie superstar who is mourning over the loss of her husband.

This film won the Love and Psyche Prize at the MedFilm Festival in Rome in October.
The film’s star, Leila Hatami, won the Best Actress Award for her portrayal of Leila at the 47th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in Czech Republic in July.
