Praised by the New York Times as "devastaging" and "heartbreaking,"
"Leila" is the lastest film from Iranian Director Dariush Mehrjui,
and illuminates the often brutal clash between modernity and Islamic tradition.
Focusing on a wealthy couple who married out of love but are unable to
conceive children, the story focuses on the agony and confusion felt by
Leila as her husband is forced to consider taking a second wife, leaving
her isolated from both her families.
