The film tells the story of Leyla, a second-generation Iranian girl who accidentally ruins her eyebrows while trying to shave off her unibrow.

Additionally, "Unibrow" won the Air Canada Short Film Award and Air Canada Audience Choice Short at the ReelAsian Film Festival.

I am so thrilled the film has become both Oscar-qualifying and Canadian Screen Award Qualifying."
