**Amazing directorial debut from Iranian British director Sasha Nathwani !** I was lucky to attend the film's premiere on the 16th in Berlin where it is currently nominated for best first feature film and opened the generation 14+ section. My favourite thing about the movie is the way it takes you on an emotional journey laughing one minute and crying the next. The music score is also a personal highlight - blending both British and Iranian sounds to compliment the blended cultural heritage of the film's protagonist and ease you into the story. A few scenes play out like a music video which play on Sasha's background directing music videos. Another highlight would be the cast who naturally complement one another and showcase the talent of Shakira Dowling as a casting director. Stand out talent - Lydia Fleming.
