A pink sky, a Cornish road, and an ice cream van named Lola. In Naghmeh Pour’s new film for seasonal fragrance house Ffern, two siblings set out on a sun-hazed road trip, foraging pink grapefruit, marigold, and blood orange to create an ice cream that mirrors the notes of Ffern’s latest summer scent – first tasted on screen by Bill Nighy.
Born in Iran and raised in rural Denmark, Naghmeh (pictured above right) brings a rich cultural lens to her work, drawing on the visual poetry of Iranian cinema and a love of layered symbolism. Shot on 16mm by Ruben Woodin Dechamps, the film is a postcard to British summer – green winding roads, soft pink skies, and the quiet magic of days that refuse to end.
