Part one,
Leila
In "Laila Brothers" there is light, there is a lantern, and that lantern is "Laila"; Not Leila herself, but Leila's "rationality". Leila is the lantern of the story; It is a lantern because it wants to overcome corruption with the power of reason. This "Laila" is no longer "Sumiya" who has no choice between the two options of putting her pelvis under her mother or being sold to a rich suitor. No! This Laila is the axis of the family's rationality. This Leela offers a "solution". Why? Because he wants to live. Leila is the life-creating woman whose concept has recently been formed in the society and it is natural that this life-creating and rationalist woman cannot be commanded or forbidden. Leila has understood that there is an "intergenerational" problem and a large part of the problems is rooted in the irrationality of the previous generation, so it is necessary to stop the burning of the lives of the fathers, it is necessary to stand up and mobilize the brothers and even slap the previous generation!
The film "Leila Brothers" also shows the multi-layered misery of Iranian life: family, society, politics. A person is born in the midst of superstitions and family traditions, and until the generation of his parents are alive, he feels the claws of this pettiness on his throat. At the same time that he is involved in family ignorance and irrationality, he must cross the minefield of society, and in the meantime, macro-economic corruption and Trump's tweets fall on his life like a bomb. If he passes this layer, he will fall into the traps of the next layers. The political-economic variables governing people's livelihood become so complicated that the citizen can no longer calculate. The first mistake becomes a fatal mistake... the normal affairs of life become a game of life and death, and from one place to the next, nothing can be fixed...
In this labyrinth of depravity, the girl must become the axis of rationality in life, fight against all the foolishness and weaknesses of personality and culture and pull the blanket of her brothers from the water, that too in a house where her father sees the masculinity of the baby in a swaddling clothes, flowers bloom from flower to flower...
