Three young Iranian men take off on a road trip through the South of France in this warm-hearted buddy movie which deftly mixes documentary with improvised fiction.
After five years studying in Paris, Arash has decided to return home to Iran, but not before best friends and fellow Iranians Hossein and Ashkan take him on a goodbye road trip through the South of France. Caught between a wistful longing for home and love of their adopted country, the three friends kick back, drink beer, and laze in the sun as Summer draws to an end.
A warm-hearted buddy movie and a comedy that deftly mixes documentary with improvised fiction, Before Summer Ends is also a tender portrait of young Iranian men as you’ve never seen them depicted before.
