Scrap is one of those quiet little gems you don't see coming - honest, a little rough around the edges, and completely heartfelt. It's not loud or flashy, but that's exactly what makes it so special. It feels raw and real, like peeking into someone's actual life instead of watching a movie. The characters are flawed in ways that make them feel deeply human, and the emotions hit hard without ever feeling forced. It's about struggle, resilience, and the tiny, messy moments that shape us. If you're into stories that linger in your heart long after the credits roll, Scrap is absolutely worth finding.

A Good Day Will Come, Ifilmmaker Amir Zargara crafts a striking narrative that blends personal struggle with social awareness. The story centers on Arash, a wrestler whose mind is as entangled in the country's social upheaval as it is on his sport. Played by Sia Alipour, Arash embodies the quiet but powerful emotions of someone who carries the weight of his people's pain, and Alipour's performance is both subtle and deeply moving. The film's color grading, steeped in dark, muted tones, paints the lives of Arash and those around him in shades of grey, visually representing the bleakness of their reality. A haunting, melancholic soundtrack amplifies this atmosphere, making each scene feel emotionally charged. Wrestling scenes are more than just physical displays-they're moments of introspection for Arash, showing that his mind is never fully in the ring but always with the people enduring hardship. Amir Zargara's direction reveals an understanding of both visual and emotional storytelling. Without giving too much away, the film's title, A Good Day Will Come, echoes throughout, as a message of hope that Arash clings to. It's a short but impactful piece, dedicated to the resilience that exists within us all and our quiet faith that one day, peace and justice will prevail.
