In its second contest at international events, “Bending the Rules” will be screened at the 26th Tokyo International Film Festival, which will take place from October 17 to 25.

Shahrazad, a desperate girl, joins the group and takes the leading role in the play. She decides, unlike her other fellow actors, to tell the truth to her father. He is against this trip. The group is now in a dilemma: replace her or…. “Bending the Rules”, also known as “The Rule of Accident”, won a Crystal Simorgh for best film in the international section of the 31st Fajr International Film Festival in Tehran in February. A Crystal Simorgh for best script in the national competition of the festival also went to Behzadi, who is also the writer of the screenplay for the film.
