Hello everyone,

I left a western European country (think sunset at 16:30 in December) for a southern European country. I'm visiting my family for the holidays, and it just feels very strange to be back here.

I now live in a city, and the contrast with the urban sprawl in my previous country is almost jarring. Car dependency is also quite high, while I mostly walk around where I live now.

For people who experienced similar situations, did you find any way to deal with it? I'm only here for a few weeks, so it's fine, but I guess I just wanted to see if someone has any tip.

It also probably means I made a good decision to move where I live now.

The Iranian thriller drama “Just 6.5” (also known as “Law of Tehran”) written and directed by Saeed Roustayi has been included in the list of 50 best films released in the UK in 2023 by The Guardian. A production of 2019, the movie hit the cinemas in the UK in March, after being released in eight other countries and participating in about 30 international film festivals across the globe.

Upon its premiere in Iran in February 2019, the film won multiple awards, including the Crystal Simorgh for Audience Choice of Best Film, at the 37th Fajr Film Festival. Later in the September that year, it was well received by critics at the 76th Venice Film Festival.
