LEILA’S BROTHERS

برادران لیلا

Directed by Saeed Roustaee

Cast: Farhad Aslani, Navid Mohammadzade, Payman Maadi, Saeed Poursamimi, Tarane Alidousti

In this gripping family drama, Taraneh Alidoosti delivers a powerhouse performance as Leila, a woman who has devoted her life to caring for her struggling family. With the goal of securing a better future, she convinces her bickering brothers to pool their resources and lease a small storefront. However, their plans are derailed when Leila’s father, a narcissistic opium addict, spends all of their savings to claim the title of patriarch of their extended family, which he has long coveted for. Saeed Roustaee crafts a timely narrative that challenges the patriarchal structures and intergenerational gap in contemporary Tehran.
