For Love, reż. Amirhossein Saghafi (Iran) 2025, 77’, 15+

A young woman arrives in a new place in winter, hoping to rebuild her life after a painful breakup with her beloved. In her solitary journey, she confronts questions about what love truly is, whether it can be reclaimed, and how much courage it takes to make peace with what has passed.
The raw, snow-covered landscape becomes not only a backdrop, but an emotional mirror for the protagonist. Each camera shot is like a breath – full of space, light, and subtle contrasts. The film captivates visually, creating a poetic landscape of feelings in which the image speaks louder than words.
