Gholam
Synopsis
He has two jobs, yet seems not to be interested in the money. He eats at his uncle’s café every day, yet is fully aware of being betrayed by him. He agrees to his mother’s arrangements for his return, yet has no intention of going back. We learn that he was once a war hero, yet he disappeared from the battlefield without a trace.
A man with no past, no future, no ‘conviction’, he still gets involved in the conflict of a total stranger and carries it through to the very end.
