Boomerang(HKAFF2024)

Every end is another beginning, like throwing a boomerang - coming to a full circle. In his first feature film, Iranian artist-filmmaker Shahab Fotouhi portrays contemporary Tehran society with a story about relationships of two generations: Sima and Behzad are facing marital crisis while their teenage daughter Minoo starts a budding romance with a boy she met on the street. Not being confined to a clear cause and effect narrative, the film draws our attention towards human interaction itself - the gaze, the gesture and the facial expressions, and lets us put the pieces of the puzzles together.
