After losing “Saeed” on their trip to see fireflies, “Mona” feels and sees things she couldn’t before.

This film is a part of the seven films by young Iranian women filmmakers, delves into the fragile and shifting nature of contemporary existence, as seen through their unique perspectives. Through intimate narratives and striking visuals, these films illuminate the dreams, fears, and resilience of a generation navigating uncertainty while daring to envision alternative futures. The collection becomes a mosaic of voices, reflecting both the cracks in the present and the sparks of creativity that light the path forward, offering a poetic and philosophical reflection on what it means to dream in an unstable world.
