Synopsis

Samad goes to the city with his donkey on the advice of his grandmother to learn an industrial job with the help of Mash Baqer. His donkey is kidnapped and he is reported to the local constable. Karim Agha, the owner of a real estate agency, with the help of his apprentice Rahim, enlists Samad to play the role of a rural landowner who has come to the city to sell his land at a cheap price. Karim Agha employs Samad as a construction worker while using Samad's fingerprints under fake land ownership papers.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
