At the End of the Night

After a decade of economic austerity, a middle class couple has managed to buy an apartment on the outskirts of Tehran - but financial issues and the traps of married life catch them and they must now face the consequences of their separation: divorce, and everything that it implies.

Our take

Written and produced by the real-life creative duo Ida Panahandeh and Amiri Arsalan (Nahid, Israfil), At the End of the Night delicately and skillfully dissects the separation of a couple shattered by the disillusionment of their social situation. A powerful and bitter reflection on the sacrifices of a life together, the series stands out for its deeply authentic characters and the exceptional performances of its two lead actors, Parsa Pirouzfar (Titi, Mum’s Guest) and Hoda Zeinolabedin (Israfil, Cold Sweat).
