Khayyam Vaghar Kashani

Sarah is leaving Teheran for three years to study for her doctorate in Canada. Her flight is at 6 am. After an emotionally fraught final dinner with her family, she heads to an impromptu farewell party at her friend Farida’s apartment, intending to go straight to the airport afterwards. That plan implodes, however, when the morality police swoop in. Drinks are emptied, musical instruments hidden and women put on their overcoats, while Sarah is seized with terror that they will all be arrested – and she, of course, will miss her plane. Mehran Modiri, Iran’s popular satirist, who also has a chilling cameo as a police hostage negotiator, proves here that he is just as at home with a nail-biting drama.

It is a bitter and realistic drama centered on the struggle of revolutionary youth against the terrorist group of the MKO. The 1960s, with its widespread assassinations, bombings, security infiltrations, and bloody clashes in cities, is the setting for a fiery drama; a setting that has rarely been dealt with in dramatic formats with such clarity and boldness.A summary of the series' plot states: "Don't you see what they did to our brothers? Where in the world do you know, where does history remember, that they would scalp a human being?" This sentence not only refers to the merciless violence of the hypocrites, but also depicts the atmosphere of the series.
