86 minutes, Persian with English subtitles

This acclaimed feature debut tells the compelling coming of age story of Sina as he deals with his parents’ divorce and copes with his own issues. Yet, behind a cool exterior is a frightened teenager with a secret he can’t ignore. The only person he can confide in is Nahid, a young woman secretly staying at his flat while studying and looking for a job. As his predicament unfolds and his friendship with Nahid deepens, Sina has to take some brave decisions. Set in the rarely seen world of Iranian middle class youth, this is a gritty urban drama of modern teenage life in Tehran today.
