Soma/Haoma 2017

Directed by Mehrad Sepahnia

Soma/Homa unfolds within the confines of a modest student flatshare in a small Iranian town, where a group of young people navigate the fragile terrain of everyday life. Between moments of laughter, silence, intoxication, and quiet despair, the film traces their shared routines, longings, and disillusionments shaped by the unseen pressure of state repression. It is a meditation on life and death, drugs and dreams, where survival is both physical and emotional.
