Under the Skin of the City
Tuba works daily at a grueling textile factory in Iran, returning home every night to deal with the rest of her problematic family, which includes: a pregnant daughter whose husband beats her regularly; a teenage son, who's been getting into trouble due to his burgeoning career in radical politics; and an older son who goes to great lengths--such as attempting to sell the family's meager house--in order to get an engineering job in Japan as a means of getting out of Iran.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Under the Skin of the City is a solid entry rated 7.0/10. Not a masterpiece, but quality work that won't leave you disappointed.
A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.
A 2005 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
