Tehroun (2009) January 21, 2011

What does it take to make it in Tehroun, as Tehran is called by its inhabitants? For three young men who share friendship and a shabby apartment in the bustling, traffic-clogged city, high hopes and the willingness to work hard are not enough. Ibrahim, who has left his pregnant wife behind in their village, slides into a life of crime through what looks like a relatively harmless con and soon finds himself heavily in debt to a very dangerous boss. Ibrahim's pals conspire to help him out, but their solution is as dark as the no-exit situation that confronts him at every turn.
