Synopsis

Tennessine follows Arash (Osamah Sami – House of Gods, Shayda), who against his family’s wishes, arrives in Australia to reunite with the love of his life, the elusive Nazanin (Faezeh Alavi). While the couple spends a romantic weekend in a cabin in the woods, the arrival of Nasser, Nazanin’s supervisor (Robert Rabiah – Last King of the Cross), leads Arash to a chain of self-destructive events.

Spoken in Persian and English, and set against the backdrop of the desolate Australian wilderness, Tennessine is a psychological drama portraying the effects of displacement, belonging and love.
