“Coming from two countries at odds with each other, Iranian-American Leila (Layla Mohammadi) strives to find balance and embrace her opposing cultures, while boldly challenging the labels society is so quick to project upon her,” reads the film’s synopsis. “When her family reunites in New York City for her father’s heart transplant, Leila navigates her relationships from arms length in an effort to keep her “real” life separate from her family life. However, when her secret is unceremoniously revealed, so are the distinct parallels between her life and that of her mother Shireen (Niousha Noor).”
The Persian Version is set to release on October 13, 2023 in theaters in New York and Los Angeles. Following the limited release, the film will expand over the following weeks, before a nationwide release on November 3, 2023.
