Sunrise

Set against the authentic backdrop of Iran during the winter of 2026—a period marked by intense social turmoil and the looming shadow of war—"Sunrise" (6:00 AM) observes a quiet, internal struggle within the walls of a cramped apartment. As 6:00 AM news broadcasts echo through an empty, cluttered room, objects become silent witnesses to trauma: a crushed cigarette pack like a pile of bodies, a lingering pill, and an overturned reality reflected in water. Yet, as the domestic cell dissolves through subtle, symbolic rituals of memory and heritage, darkness yields to a luminous dawn.
