Desiderium lyrically charts the hapless loves of a three brother: Majid, they young handicapped brother with a deformed head falls in love with Aghdas, a prostitute hired by his eldest brother Habib to entertain him, not knowing the truth about her profession. Karim, the middle brother is so infatuated with a quail that he almost completely ignores his wife and her emotions. Habib himself is in love with Foroogh, a tailor lady who lives with them, while his sense of responsibility about Majid keeps him from requiting her affections.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A poetic portrait of three brothers caught in overlapping tangles of desire and duty, where affection constantly collides with circumstance. The film observes their yearnings with a mixture of compassion and dark irony, finding both tragedy and odd grace in their failures to connect.
