SYNOPSIS

Backgammon tells the story of a six-year old Iranian American girl (Sheema Regimand) who desperately wants to play backgammon with her stubborn grandfather (Manucher Marzban) who has recently arrived from Iran. Within the circle of a family gathering, the film brings together a subtle yet compelling story of generational conflicts and cultural identity.
