Rainy Seasons (film)

Rainy Seasons (Persian: فصل باران‌های موسمی, romanized: Fasl-e Bārān-hā-ye Mowsemi) is a 2010 Iranian film, directed by Majid Barzegar.

Barzegar's directorial debut, it tells the story of sixteen-year-old Sina (Navid Layeghi Moghadam), who is left with an apartment to himself as his parents divorce.

He finds himself in a difficult situation, hounded by neighborhood tough Masoud (Alireza Bagheri) to whom he owes money, as he allows Nahid (Marzieh Khoshtarash) to stay with him temporarily.

[1] The movie was originally conceived as a short film before being developed into a full-length feature.

[2] Writing for SBS Movies, Don Groves panned the film, noting "deficiencies in the screenplay" such as the "insipid, sullen protagonist plus a meandering, listless narrative and a disappointing lack of tension or engagement with the characters.
