White Fish Season (Fasle Mahie Sefid) is a 2025 Iranian drama directed by Ghorban Najafi in his feature debut, offering a deeply moving adaptation of Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard transplanted to the lush rice paddies of northern Iran. The film follows siblings Bahram (Mohammad Reza Forutan) and Nahid (Ladan Mostofi) as they confront the looming loss of their ancestral estate, weaving together themes of generational conflict, economic hardship, and the painful tension between preserving tradition and accepting change.
With a haunting score by Karen Homayounfar and strong supporting performances from Milad Keymaram and Bijan Banafshekhah, White Fish Season stands as one of Iranian cinema's most poignant explorations of modern identity and family. Stream it now exclusively on Top Local Videos.
