Synopsis

A simple village boy, a wrestler with extraordinary strength, catches the eye of a famous coach from Tehran who happens to be at a village festival where local wrestlers are competing. The coach invites the boy to the capital to take up wrestling professionally, and soon the talented wrestler becomes a celebrity and the darling of all Iran, which arouses the envy of his teammates. A chance encounter with the mother of his future opponent for the national championship title turns his whole life upside down. A separate storyline follows the love affair between Habib, the main character, and Sitar, the daughter of a local wealthy man.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
