The funeral of Dariush Mehrjui


In the film, Nassirian plays a simple, naive villager who goes to Tehran to find a wife. While in the big city, he is treated roughly and constantly fooled by local hustlers and con artists. When he goes into a dress shop to purchase a wedding gown, he meets a beautiful young woman (Fakhri Khorvash) and proposes to her. The young woman turns out to be a prostitute who rejects him and takes his money, spending him back to his village empty-handed but more world-wise.
