Tehran 57 is a vibrant Iranian comedy set in the bustling capital during the late 1970s, a time of sweeping social change on the eve of revolution. A young entrepreneur finds himself swept up in a mysterious international investment scheme rumoured to be backed by American money, drawing in opportunists, local officials, and ordinary Tehranis all chasing a piece of the dream. The result is a whirlwind of comic misunderstandings and colourful chaos against a richly nostalgic backdrop.
With its warm cinematography, vintage fashions, and classic Persian music, the film lovingly recreates pre-revolution Tehran, balancing sharp satirical commentary on greed and foreign influence with genuine warmth and charm. A witty, entertaining portrait of a city caught between tradition and modernity — stream it now on Top Local Videos.
