The synopsis of “Leila Brothers” reads: At the age of 40, Leila has spent her entire life caring for her parents and four brothers. In a country facing international economic sanctions, families are constantly arguing and getting into debt. Leila, while her brothers are trying to make a living, plots to save them from poverty by starting a family business. . While they desperately need financial support, Leila discovers that their father, Ismail, has secretly hidden a family heritage. He has kept this legacy as a proposal to become the new patriarch of the tribe, the highest honor in the Iranian tradition. This causes chaos in a family that was already fragile. As the father’s health deteriorates, the actions of each member of the family gradually bring the family one step closer to an explosion.
