Premiered at the 2022 Berlin Film Festival, Until Tomorrow tells the story of how a single mother's courage is tested when she resorts to desperate measures to hide her illegitimate child from her parents. Director Ali Asgari describes the film: “The odyssey of Fereshteh takes us under the skin of the Iranian capital, Tehran, to understand how the youth have gained the courage and confidence to question the traditional ways of life and break away from patriarchy.” A member of the International Competition jury this year, Ali Asgari’s earlier films Napadid Shodan / Disappearance and the short he co-directed Pilgrims were screened at previous editions of the festival. Until Tomorrow is his second feature film.

This film was a Meetings on the Bridge participant.
