IT'S WINTER

RUSSIAN PREMIERE

ABOUT THE FILM

In the mountains of Iran, 16-year-old Sogol and 6-year-old Delaram live a nomadic life, close as sisters. Between long seasonal migrations and brief moments of joy, they coexist with industrial waste, wild nature, and the weight of old traditions. As winter approaches, a harsh truth begins to surface. Yet in their closeness, small sparks of care and imagination keep alive the hope of another future.
