There Was One, There Was None

یکی بود یکی نبود

Yasmin Shahbahrami | Iran, Netherlands | 2026 | 19' |

RTM

| IFFR 2026

Yasmin Shahbahrami’s There Was One, There Was None probes the friendship between two Iranian girls across time and distance. With an exquisite colour palette and a melancholic tone, this short film attests to both the desire and the difficulty of keeping strong bonds when they are mediated by modern technology.
