Roozhaye Narenji (Orange Days) is a 2018 Iranian drama film directed by Arash Lahooti, set among the orange groves of northern Iran. It follows Aban, the sole woman working as a contractor in a male-dominated agricultural world, as she competes for a major job and refuses to yield ground to anyone.

What is Roozhaye Narenji about?

Aban has carved out a rare space for herself as the only female contractor operating in the orange fields of Gilan province. When she wins a significant contract over several male rivals, whispers and resistance begin almost immediately. Her crew, the landowners, and the men around her all expect her to stumble — but Aban brings a fierce, methodical determination to every decision. As the harvest season unfolds and obstacles multiply, the film tracks her quiet confrontations with prejudice, her negotiations with power, and the personal costs that come with refusing to retreat. The orange groves become a stage for a larger drama about dignity, labor, and what it takes to hold your ground.

Cast & crew

Hediyeh Tehrani leads the film as Aban, delivering a grounded, physically present performance that carries the film's emotional weight without sentimentality. Ali Mosaffa and Mehran Ahmadi fill key supporting roles, both credible as figures whose authority Aban must navigate or outmaneuver. Director Arash Lahooti keeps the camera close to labor and landscape, trusting his actors over exposition.

Context & significance

Films centered on Iranian working women navigating male-dominated spaces have a strong tradition in Iranian cinema — from the village stories of the 1990s to contemporary social realism. Roozhaye Narenji sits squarely in that lineage, using the specific geography of northern Iran's citrus country as both a setting and a symbol. For diaspora viewers, the film offers a portrait of rural Iranian life and female tenacity that rarely appears in the images of Iran circulated abroad. It is quiet, observational cinema that rewards patience and rewards viewers who appreciate character over plot.
