Synopsis

Homayoun, who has divorced his wife by triple talaq, asks Nosrat, a shoemaker who owns a small workshop, to act as a mohallel so that he can remarry his divorced wife. However, Sara, Nosrat’s wife, prevents her husband from cooperating. With the mediation of a driver, Homayoun arranges a situation in which Nosrat and his wife Sara travel to the north of the country. Along the way, Homayoun’s ex-wife and her mother get into their car, and in this manner an acquaintance is formed between them. Nosrat marries Homayoun’s ex-wife, and according to the plan they head north, but Sara and one of Nosrat’s friends keep a constant watch on them, never allowing the two to be alone and repeatedly creating disturbances.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

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.
