The clarity with which Foroughi presents the situation makes it easy for international audiences to follow the unfolding drama with its rising stakes.” – Deborah Young\, The Hollywood Reporter \n  \nBased on her own adolescent experiences\, Sadaf Foroughi’s Ava is a gripping debut about a young girl’s coming-of-age in a strict\, traditional society. Living with her well-to-do parents in Tehran\, Ava is a bright and focused teen whose concerns — friendships\, music\, social status\, academic performance — resemble that of nearly any teenager. When Ava’s mistrustful and overprotective mother questions her relationship with a boy — going so far as to visit a gynecologist – Ava is overwhelmed by a newfound rage. Formerly a model student\, Ava begins to rebel against the strictures imposed by her parents\, her school\, and the society at large. \n  \nAwards:\n \nNominated\, International Debut Award\, Göteborg Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Best Canadian First Feature Film/Honourable Mention\, International Critics’ Award\, Toronto International Film Festival\, 2017 \n  \n\n  \n
