Meysam, an adolescent from Tehran’s roughest neighborhood, has a dream to change his destiny through music, but his family disagrees.
Coming-of-age story of Meysam an adolescent from Tehran's roughest neighborhood, whose dream is to change his destiny through music but his family disagrees: Meysam, a 17 year old boy lives in Darvaze Ghar, Tehran's poor neighborhood known as the last stop of prostitutes, heroin addicts, thieves, and the fringes of society. Meysam is witty, good looking, funny and he loves underground music. He also helps his father, a former heroin addict, who now runs a grocery store. Music is Meysam's passion, his way to challenge the destiny of those doomed in the gateway to the cave. He wants to create a band and considers himself as an aspiring singer and songwriter. But as the underground music is forbidden in Iran and Meysam's idol singer is the one who is banned from the country, his parents are more and more worried. They fear that the contents of Meysam's lyrics can get him in trouble with the authorities. Therefore they push him to concentrate on his studies and work more at their grocery store, but Meysam doesn't want to obey.

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.
