Ashke Hoor is a 2025 Iranian historical-dramatic film directed by Mehdi Jafari and produced by Mojtaba Farahadeh. Set against the weight of Iran's deep past, the film brings period drama to life with a story rooted in sacrifice, memory, and the human cost of history.
What is Ashke Hoor about?

The film follows their struggles as personal grief and collective memory intertwine, drawing viewers into a world where the echoes of the past reverberate through every choice made in the present.
