Essaie (2019)

Pardis, an ambitious Iranian mature student, navigates the complex, landmine-strewn pas de deux of interpersonal encounters between herself and the ultra-debonair Canadian drama professor, Colin Cave. They seem to be constantly speaking over each other's heads, like Braille, in an unending series of intercultural faux pas. But sometimes -- just sometimes -- such relationships create unexpected breakthroughs, when boundless love triumphs over the obstinacy of traditional custom and habit. It is at this harmonious intersection -- between passion and hesitancy -- where human beings must strive to contribute their very best. Where they must always try to be.
