About the Film
Directed by Houman Seyedi, Sizdeh (13) is a harrowing drama about reticent, monosyllabic, and bullied 13-year-old Bemani, whose parents are divorced. With his world falling apart, a group of troubled older kids led by an attractive female provides refuge — or so it seems. Please note, the content of this film is suggested for mature audiences.
