TEHRAN (IFILM) -- Iranian feature ‘Leila’s Brothers’ has been competing at the Chennai International Film Festival (CIFF) in India.
Saeed Roustaee’s latest directorial experience is competing at the 2022 edition of the festival.
The film is about Leila, 40, who has spent her life on caring for her parents and four brothers.
Leila comes up with a plan to run a family business in order to save them from poverty as her brothers are struggling to make ends meet.
While they desperately need financial assistance, Leila finds out that their father has secretly hidden a family heritage. That discovery causes chaos in the fragile family.
Renowned Iranian actors Parinaz Izadyar, Peyman Maadi, Taraneh Alidousti, Saeed Poursamimi, Farhad Aslani and Navid Mohammadzadeh star in ‘Leila’s Brothers’.
Iranian feature ‘Romanticism of Emad and Touba’ has also been competing at the Chennai International Film Festival (CIFF) in India.
The movie, which enjoys the last appearance of the late actor and ex-footballer Ali Ansarian, will represent Iran at the 2022 edition of the event.
In addition to the late actor, Sara Bahrami is the narrator and Elnaz Habibi and Hessam Mahmoudi have played the leading roles of the film.
Directed by Mehdi Sabbaghzadeh, the film tells the story of a couple, Emad and Touba, who are in deep love, but a harsh encounter helps them to improve their love skills.
A brief synopsis of the romantic fantasy reads, “Emad: I love your bunny teeth. Touba: I haven’t brushed yet”.
Starting in 2003, the CIFF is dedicated to presenting the best of International and Indian films.
This edition of the event is currently underway from December 15 to 22, 2022.
