A day in the life of an ambitious 18-year-old Iranian-British girl transforms into a universal portrait of youth, hope and fears over the future.
It’s results day and Ziba (a stunning Deba Hekmat, Hoard) has a meticulous plan for her school friends to carouse in the summer streets of London. But her secrets and fears are never far away. Sasha Nathwani follows up his impressive shorts and music videos with an astute, confident and freewheeling debut that captures the tremulous energy of a group on the cusp of adulthood.
