Leila is a young New Yorker. She\u2019s a lesbian and an Iranian-American and contains within herself the cultures of two warring countries. She tries to find balance and embrace what\u2019s different and contradicting in her identity and combine it all together. Leila\u2019s dealing with her conservative parents who are still clinging to their homeland traditions, while trying to celebrate her identity and the freedom New York offers. She loves to challenge the labels society is fast to pin on her. While her family reunites in New York for her father\u2019s heart transplant, Leila is trying to separate her family life and personal life. She tries to keep as much distance as possible from her judgmental mother Shireen, but when the secrets start to unravel, the similarities between Leila\u2019s life and her mothers\u2019 become apparent.
\n“The Persian Version\u201d<\/em> is colorful cinema that combines New York and Persian-Iranian humor, lively dances and a complex and chilling cross-generational story of women who decide to stay loyal to themselves and go against the traditions of their families and the society they grew up in. \u201cThe Persian Version\u201d<\/em> celebrates their stories and does that in an intelligent, fascinating and unapologetic way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
