Toghiri’s debut approaches the situation of young people in Iran from different perspectives. Omid, Aida, Amir and Sepideh belong to a group connected by friendships and love relationships. Their efforts to enjoy life to the full are overshadowed by the feeling of not being able to gain a foothold and by the desire to leave.

Afterwards conversation with the filmmaker!
