Iranian director Ali Asgari's drama "A Bit of Light" (Kami nour) follows Arash, a Tehran physician whose medical licence is revoked and office sealed after he is arrested for treating wounded protesters. Believing he has "nothing left to live for," he spends what he intends to be his final day tying up loose ends and informing his family, yet the encounters he has along the way quietly reawaken his sense of connection to others. The film, reviewed by The Hollywood Reporter, is described as understated and quietly comic despite its mournful subject, gaining added weight from being set as Tehran braces for threatened American air strikes.

Written by Asgari with Shadmehr Rastin, the film stars Misagh Zareh as Arash, who distributes his possessions to his three siblings and mother, including his car and cat to his brother Maziar and his plants to his sisters, sparking a recurring visual joke as the greenery multiplies through the film. Other notable scenes include a darkly comic exchange with a janitor about taping windows against "precision strikes," and a pivotal conversation with his sister Mahsa, a yoga teacher, that shifts from sarcasm to deep sympathy. Filming began in Tehran but relocated to Turkey after war broke out, with references to real events such as the USS Abraham Lincoln's deployment woven into the story.
