The Road Ahead: A Filmmaker's Quest for Representation on Two Wheels Massih Parsaei's debut feature, "Lovers Sleep Alone," is set to premiere at the San Sebastian Film Festival.
This poignant drama follows Iman, a queer man in exile, played by Pooyesh Frozandeh, as he navigates the complexities of his past and present in Berlin.
The film's protagonist shares parallels with motorcyclists who ride solo, often finding themselves on the periphery of society. Like Iman, these riders are shaped by a complex web of desire, identity, and displacement.
