"When a large Iranian-American family gathers, a family secret is discovered that propels a distant mother and daughter into an exploration of the past, revealing that they are more alike than they could have imagined. This is the plot of The Persian Version, a typical film that explores family relationships – and their intrigues – from a perspective that deviates from the American banality we are so familiar with, bringing forth the nuances of Iranian culture, even delving into topics beyond cultural stereotypes."
