Summer With Hope
Sadaf Foroughi, Canada, Iran 2022, 100 Min., Farsi with English subtitles

The second feature of the Iranian filmmaker is a poignant exploration of hidden desires and societal constraints set against the backdrop of a tense summer in Iran. The film follows the journey of Omid, a young swimmer with dreams of breaking free, who finds himself entangled in a complex relationship with his coach, Mani. As their bond deepens, they navigate the treacherous waters of forbidden emotions and cultural taboos. Foroughi masterfully captures the suffocating pressures of conformity and the longing for personal freedom, creating a powerful narrative that resonates with themes of love, repression, and identity.
