- BAM Film 2025
In a lightly fictionalized almost-documentary, young Iranian musicians Negar (Negar Shaghaghi) and Ashkan (Ashkan Koshanejad) are released from prison, and immediately immerse themselves in Tehran’s underground rock scene—“underground” because playing in public venues is outlawed. They plan to escape from their repressive country to play a concert in Europe, but first they need to find a rhythm section and some passports. They place their hope in Nader (Hamed Behdad), a savvy fixer who promises to get them to their gig.
