In his tender drama, set in Tehran, old relationships – such as Sima's marriage to Behzad – break up and new ones begin. Sometimes, by sheer chance.

While Sima is looking for a new home for herself and her daughter Minoo, her soon-to-be ex meets his former flame. He is also looking for a rare species of owl, who lives somewhere outside the city. But teenage Minoo is also busy: she meets a boy.

"Minoo and Keyvan first make eye contact at a traffic light and quickly bond without exchanging a word. As they walk and flirt through the city, 'Boomerang' captures a sense of lightness and fluidity reminiscent of the French Nouvelle Vague," the director says.
