Iván & Hadoum

In a greenhouse in southern Spain, Iván falls in love with newly hired coworker, Hadoum. However, his long-awaited promotion interferes with their relationship, forcing Iván to decide what kind of person he wants to be.

Iván’s (Silver Chicón) days always seem the same but newly-hired packer Hadoum (Herminia Loh), who has returned to Almería after years away, changes everything when a love without judgment blooms between them. But these star-crossed lovers are put under immediate strain as external forces—culture, identity, class, and economic aspirations—threaten to turn their dream into a nightmare. Ian de la Rosa’s feature directorial debut beautifully explores how romantic connection can triumph, even when faced with the mundane socioeconomic pressures and traditional mindsets that seek to pull us apart.
