Hodoode 8 Sobh

Hodoode 8 Sobh : حدود ۸ صبح : "About 8 A.M." is the eighth film by Iranian director Manouchehr Hadi, exploring the profound impacts of modern communication and social media on personal relationships. The film centers around a couple, with the husband, Amir, falling into deep misunderstanding and subsequent turmoil following the receipt of a mistakenly sent text message by his wife. This minor incident spirals into significant, irrevocable challenges, highlighting the fragility and complexity of trust and relationships in the digital age.

Manouchehr Hadi, known for addressing contemporary societal themes through his cinematic works, delves into the paranoia and over-sensitivity that can arise from trivial matters, particularly among couples, exacerbated by the pervasive influence of social media. This narrative echoes themes Hadi previously touched upon in the comedy "Ayneh Baghal," but "About 8 A.M." takes a more serious and bitter approach to the subject.

The screenplay for "About 8 A.M." was co-written by Manouchehr Hadi and Saeed Dolatkhani, who have previously collaborated on films such as "Quarantine," "Someone Wants to Talk to You," and "A World of Hope." This collaboration continues to explore and uncover the darker undercurrents of modern life and relationships.
