Last Swim (15)

Young people relax on the grass on a summer day.

Look forward to summer in the city with this British coming-of-age drama about friendship and an uncertain future.

British-Iranian sixth form student Ziba Soofi (Deba Hekmat, Hoard), who recently aced her A-Levels and will soon attend university to study astrophysics, plans to celebrate results day with her friends Shea, Merf and Tara. However, a joyous day with her friends takes some unexpected turns.

Last Swim screened at the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival where it won the Crystal Bear and AG Kino Cinema Vision 14Plus Prize. Don't miss your chance to watch this extraordinary debut feature from Sasha Nathwani, a singular voice in British cinema, on the big screen.
