The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 100 minutes.

What it is about

Iván (33), a trans man, and Hadoum (30), a Spanish-Moroccan woman, fall in love at the industrial greenhouse they work in. While facing the opposition from their families and co-workers, Iván realizes he doesn’t need to be the man he is expected to be.

What to expect

Iván & Hadoum is a Spanish-language drama set almost entirely inside the industrial greenhouses where Iván, a trans man, and Hadoum, a Spanish-Moroccan woman, work and fall for each other. The movie keeps its focus narrow — the heat, the repetitive labour, the whispered conversations between rows of plants — and lets the couple’s isolation register through what is unsaid rather than through confrontation. Ian de la Rosa directs a cast of mostly unfamiliar faces, which helps the story feel observed rather than performed. The 100-minute runtime is unhurried; viewers expecting a plot-driven romance may find it too restrained, but those who like drama built from glances and withheld words will settle into its rhythm. Spanish dialogue with English subtitles. This is a festival screening only, part of HKLGFF 2026, with no general release planned. No Hong Kong certificate is listed; the content suggests it is best suited to audiences 15 and above.
