Powerful Protoype for "Leila's Brothers"

Mr Roustayi's written & directed this short about a mother who nearly ruins her children's financial future to save face / honor. Ms Faranak Kalantar plays the daughter (Later played by Ms Taraneh Alidoosti) while instead of father (Mr Saeed Poursamimi) from Leila's Brother, it's the mother here who putting everyone in danger (Magnificently played by Ms Fereshteh Sadre Orafaiy).

A thought provoking family tragedy where daughter (& later a brother) tries to be the sound of reason. There's a bitter difference here (Compared to 2022 picture) in form a twist which they eventually tell the mother and is cleverly juxtaposed with the chaos created by AC's blows.
