Iván & Hadoum

Directed by Ian de la Rosa2026Spain/Belgium/Germany100 mins

In a sprawling greenhouse industrial plant in southeastern Spain, desire, romance, and power collide. Iván, a forklift driver and trans man whose family legacy is deeply tied to the factory’s ownership, forms an unexpected connection with a newly hired produce packer, Hadoum. While Iván navigates the expectations placed on him to uphold that legacy, Hadoum, a cis woman, becomes a driving force in organizing the plant’s women workers to demand better conditions. Their budding and passionate romance offers a fleeting refuge from mounting pressures — until the outside world pushes in.

When Iván is drawn into management’s efforts to contain the growing unrest, their bond is tested from both sides. Winner of the Teddy Award for Best Feature at the Berlin International Film Festival, this intimate, emotionally charged feature debut by Ian de la Rosa (whose short Victor XX screened at Frameline40) is at its heart a star-crossed love story shaped by class, culture, and identity.
