‘The Lost Strait’ depicts Iranian combatants in an epic battle during the last days of the 1980-1988 Iraq-imposed war on Iran. It shows how Iran’s Ammar battalion fought against the Iraqi soldiers in an unequal battle to hold the Abu Ghuraib Strait.

The film produced at the Owj Arts and Media Organization, a Tehran-based institution producing revolutionary works in art and cinema, has won great acclaim from cineastes and critics attending the festival.

The film’s cast members include Javad Ezzati, Amir Jadidi and Hamidreza Azarang.
