Kinomania 40: A Ray of Light

After being arrested by the authorities and losing his medical clinic, an Iranian doctor loses faith in the future and decides to end his life. He spends what he means to be his last day saying goodbye to his mother and siblings — and the family's warmth and care gradually make him reconsider. The film examines the social and political context of contemporary Iran, blending humanism with dry black comedy. Director: Ali Asgari. Cast: Misagh Zare, Sadaf Asgari, Forouzan Jamshidnejad. Iran/Switzerland/Italy/Canada/Turkey, 2026.
