Project Detail

School for Seduction

Synopsis

The humdrum lives of four women are transformed by the arrival of Italian femme fatale, Sophia Rosselini and her School for Seduction.
 
For Clare, Irene and sisters Kelly and Donna the 'School for Seduction' is a much needed break from reality, promising much - how to be sexy, seductive and in control.
 
Initially the course is simply great fun and the women are unleashed on their unsuspecting partners with comic, sometimes uncomfortable but often-hilarious results.
 
However, all appears to be shattered with the arrival of Sophia's estranged husband and a shocking revelation.

A smartly dressed woman and man sit side by side in a waiting  room, sharing a quiet smile. Marriage Test

Director: Sara Nourizadeh

Year: 2026

Set in a mosque waiting room in 1980s South Wales, and inspired by the true story of writer-director Sara Nourizadeh's parents, a young couple whose relationship crossed boundaries of culture, faith and expectation. At a time when Iranian politics dominated UK headlines and shaped public attitudes, a Welsh woman and her Iranian fiancé prepare for an Islamic conversion ceremony – a requirement they must fulfil if they are to marry. What follows is a quietly charged and emotionally intimate portrait of two people trying to navigate a moment that is both deeply personal and subtly political. As they wait for the ceremony to begin, small details – a trembling hand, a whispered joke, a fleeting moment of doubt – reveal the emotional stakes beneath the surface. Their conversation dances between humour and tension, affection and uncertainty, reflecting the push and pull of family pressures, cultural misunderstandings, and their own hopes for the future. Authentic VHS archive footage of the real couple is interwoven within this scripted drama, grounding the film in lived experience and offering an unexpectedly tender glimpse into the decades that followed.
