Iván & Hadoum

Summer in southern Spain. Iván works at a large greenhouse complex and is on the verge of a long-awaited promotion to manager, which is supposed to provide him and his family with a better life. But when the beautiful Hadoum joins the company as a new seasonal worker, old feelings are reawakened in Iván. He knows Hadoum from his school days, before his transition. After spending their first night together on the beach, their relationship grows increasingly intense. But Hadoum, who has always had to fight against prejudice because of her Moroccan heritage, is also a passionate advocate for workers’ rights at the facility. Iván must decide whose side he’s on and who he truly wants to be.

In IVÁN & HADOUM, Ian de la Rosa tells the story of the sweeping love between two outsiders who must break down social barriers to find each other. “A moving, provocative, and unforgettable story,” praised the jury of the Teddy Award—the queer film prize at the Berlinale—and honored IVÁN & HADOUM as Best Feature Film.
