Out of the Blue

A film shoot is thrown into disarray when six-year-old Emily becomes distressed during an emotionally charged scene. As tensions rise between cast and crew, her mother reveals a buried childhood trauma that has been unintentionally triggered. Confronted with the weight of this revelation, the director must make difficult decisions to protect Emily’s sense of safety and agency while keeping the production on track. In doing so, the set becomes more than a workplace, it becomes a space where trust is rebuilt, boundaries are respected, and a painful memory is gently transformed.

Directed by Amirhossein Hatami
