Fireflies
Drama
Ramin flees from persecution in Iran and ends up living in the limbo of exile, far from everything he knows, in the tropical port town of Veracruz, Mexico. There his nostalgia and melancholy are confronted with new friendships, while he starts to rediscover his own desires.
VIBE
A quiet, sun-drenched ache of displacement and longing. This film feels like a slow, introspective journey through a foreign landscape, where the warmth of new connections battles the persistent chill of exile and unspoken desires.
