Lebassi baraye arossi is a 1976 Iranian drama film directed by Abbas Kiarostami, running 54 minutes and produced during the director's formative years at Kanoon, the Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults. It is a quiet, observational portrait of working-class Tehran life seen through the eyes of adolescent boys.

What is Lebassi baraye arossi‎‎ about?

A mother commissions a local tailor to sew a formal suit for her young son, who needs it for an upcoming family wedding. The suit sits in the shop, finished and waiting. Three teenage boys who work in the same building — including the tailor's own apprentice — grow increasingly curious about the garment. One evening, when the adults are away, they hatch a scheme to sneak into the shop and try on the suit, imagining what it might feel like to wear something so fine. What follows is a gentle study of youthful longing, the pull of adult responsibility, and the small transgressions that mark the passage from childhood toward something else. Kiarostami keeps the camera close to the texture of everyday routine, letting the suit itself become a symbol of a world these boys can glimpse but do not yet belong to.

The K-Time take

Kiarostami's economy of means is already fully formed here: no melodrama, no forced sentiment, just precise observation that trusts the viewer to feel the weight of small gestures. The film's restraint gives it an intimacy that lingers well after its brief running time.

Cast & crew

The film is directed by Abbas Kiarostami, the Iranian cinema master whose later works — including the Koker trilogy and Taste of Cherry — earned him international recognition. The cast features Mohammad Fassih, Mehdi Nekoueï, Massoud Zand, Reza Hashemi, and Hashem Arkan, non-professional or early-career performers consistent with Kiarostami's naturalistic casting approach throughout his Kanoon period.

Context & significance

Made for Kanoon in the mid-1970s, Lebassi baraye arossi belongs to a body of short films Kiarostami made with and about children — a period that quietly established the humanist grammar he would carry across four decades of filmmaking. For diaspora viewers who grew up watching Iranian cinema of that era, the film carries powerful resonance: the narrow Tehran alleyways, the workshop economy, the formality of family occasions, the unspoken codes of class. It also serves as a rare window into pre-revolutionary Iran for younger diaspora audiences encountering it for the first time. At 54 minutes, it is a precise, unhurried film that rewards patient attention.
