Mehdi Palang (Iraj Ghaderi) is released from prison after seven years, and he sees Qasim (Ali Azad) and his medicine and group in front of him, who have closed his gambling house, beat his granddaughter (Mehdi Fakhimzadeh) and his family. The place has been disturbed. Mehdi helps an old woman named Bibi Kokab (Parvin Soleimani) and her granddaughter Maryam (Aram), whose father is in prison, asks Mehdi to introduce himself in the circle of his friends instead of his father. Mehdi accepts, and the two gradually become interested in each other. Qasim and his men plan to kill Mehdi, and after failing to carry out their plan, they take Maryam hostage, and drag Mehdi out of the city to sign a petition to seize his property. Mehdi accepts their request, but Qasim does not keep his word and tries to harass Maryam, injuring Mehdi by shooting him. In retaliation, Mehdi takes Qasim by car and is arrested after police arrive.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
