Norooz (فیلم سینمایی نوروز) is an uplifting ensemble drama that unfolds during the final week leading up to the Persian New Year. The story centers on Mehran, a middle-aged teacher who has recently lost his enthusiasm for life after a personal setback. When he unexpectedly becomes responsible for organizing the neighborhood’s Nowruz festival, he reluctantly accepts, believing it will be a simple holiday formality. Instead, the task draws him into the lives of people he has long overlooked.

Among them is Laleh, a single mother determined to give her young daughter a joyful New Year despite a series of hardships, and Arash, a restless teenager secretly planning to leave the country in search of a new beginning. As Mehran works to bring the community together—decorating the park, arranging music, and gathering items for the haft-seen—he discovers that every resident carries their own mixture of hope and disappointment.

The preparations become a catalyst for unexpected honesty, heartfelt conversations, and small acts of kindness that ripple through the neighborhood. By the time the New Year dawns, Mehran finds himself transformed, reminded that renewal is not just a tradition but a choice.

With warmth, humanity, and gentle humor, Nooruz celebrates the power of shared moments to heal and inspire.
