The 74th Cannes Film Festival kicks off in mid-July with the first official screening of “Annette”, directed by Leos Carax, with Spike Lee chairing the judging panel.

“Hero” is one of the 24 films in this category that are competing for the Palme d’Or.

Farhadi, who is one of the popular filmmakers of Cannes Film Festival, is once again trying to win the best award with his ninth directing experience.

The story takes place in the city of Shiraz and is about a young man named Rahim who is in prison for debt. He takes two days off from prison and tries to satisfy the creditor by paying part of his debt, but the situation does not go as planned by Rahim and his family, and newer things happen in the meantime.
