Forever

Jalal, a retired philosophy student, finds out that his sister, who suffers from bipolar disorder, is married to a rich man named Shahrokh, who is addicted to betting on football. Jalal angrily leaves the house to go to the house of his friend, Bahman, an underground composer. On the way to Jalal, he meets a taxi driver named "Nasser" and the two spend a strange night together.

Directed by Mohammad Najafi Zadeh, Forever leans on a strong ensemble — Mohsen Kiaei, Milad Keymaram, Behrang Alavi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2020.
