Closing film

At a summer villa by the Caspian Sea, Milad and Armin spend a carefree weekend with friends, until news of Bita’s pregnancy complicates the mood. The next morning, their fathers arrive, bringing a very different energy into the house. As the generations collide, old ideas about masculinity, family and responsibility begin to shift.

In a rare glimpse of Iranian youth living with a freedom and sensuality rarely seen in Iranian cinema, the film captures friendship, desire and bodies without turning them into a statement. Mixing improvisation and live direction, Shirvani creates a space where intimacy, humour and uncertainty can coexist.
