The Great City
1965 · 87 min
Soraya's mother is worried about her daughter's relationship with Hamid, an unemployed and penniless young man. The mother talks to Hamid and advises him to stay away from Soraya for her own good. After that, Iraj, Hamid's flashy friend, crosses Soraya's path, but Soraya rejects him. Iraj tempts Hamid to rob a company's safe. During the theft, he cleverly pushes Hamid forward and, when the police arrive, reveals that he reported the theft to the police to get closer to Soraya. After being released from prison, Hamid encounters a man at Soraya's apartment door and, believing the man is involved with Soraya, kills her. He then assaults Iraj. Hamid encounters the same man again and realizes that he is Mehri's fiancé, and that he had been suspicious of him and Soraya for no reason. He sadly reflects on his bitter fate and that of his fiancée.
