Zeinal is a lonely, melancholy young man who stutters a lot and takes pictures for newspapers and writes stories for magazines. Zeinal is thinking about Minoo, the company secretary, whose workplace is near her apartment. He kidnaps Minoo and imprisons her in his uncle Amjad's summer house outside the city. Minoo's attempts to escape are unsuccessful, until a wounded gunman stops in front of Zeinal's car and threatens to ask her to put him in his villa. The man loses consciousness and Zeinal takes him to the hospital and escapes. Minoo pretends to be interested in getting rid of Zeinal; But in a situation where several villagers and gendarmes have tried to free him, he gets into a fight with Zeinal and escapes. Zeinal is shot in the leg by a gendarme while chasing Minoo.
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.
