Chap Rast (2018) is an Iranian social comedy film written and directed by Hamed Mohammadi, featuring an acclaimed ensemble cast including Rambad Javan, Peyman Ghasemkhani, Vishka Asayesh, and Sara Bahrami. The story begins with a striking opening: two women undergoing caesarean sections in the same hospital at the same moment — and the babies are quietly switched. Years pass, and the two families, whose parents are fierce political rivals, remain unaware of the mix-up that binds them together.
With sharp wit and a layered satirical edge, Chap Rast uses its central premise to hold a mirror up to political divisions in Iranian society. The film's title — meaning Left Right — signals its pointed commentary on ideological polarisation. Stream Chap Rast in full on Top Local Videos, your home for Persian cinema worldwide.
