Parallel Tales

Histoires parallèles (Parallel Tales, 2026) is a French-Belgian thriller from two-time Oscar-winning director Asghar Farhadi — watch online on iFILM. The cast brings together Isabelle Huppert, Virginie Efira, Vincent Cassel, and Catherine Deneuf in a dense psychological drama running 140 minutes.

Sylvie, a novelist blocked on her new book, turns a telescope on the apartments across the street and begins weaving her neighbors' private lives into fiction. Then she hires Adam, a young man who arrived to help with daily errands, and the boundary between story and reality quietly dissolves. The plot she invented starts to mirror events she never wrote. Or perhaps someone else has been writing all along.

Farhadi's films — from A Separation to The Salesman — build suspense not from violence but from the small decisions people make when no one is watching. This co-production across five countries carries the same moral weight. Stream Parallel Tales (2026) online on iFILM.
