My Sweet Pepperland
After the fall of Saddam Hussein, Baran, a Kurdish independence war hero, resolves to accept a position in a godforsaken village at the borders of Iran and Turkey, an illegal trafficking Mecca.
There he meets Govend, a beautiful young woman who has come to work as the teacher in the newly-opened school despite her twelve brothers’ hostility to the idea.

Synopsis
Baran was once a fighter for Kurdish independence. Now he returns to his homeland to work as a policeman in a small valley. Here, in a kind of Bermuda Triangle of illegality, where the countries of Iran, Turkey and Iraq border each other, the clan leader Aziz Aga rules. So far, no one has dared to oppose the warlord, but Baran has no intention of condoning the smuggling. Then the upright lawman meets Govend, a young woman.Festivals & awards
