Revolution Street

An uncensored and unflinching tale of power, corruption and love, set against the roiling aftermath of Iran's Islamic Revolution

Fattah is middle-aged and unmarried. A former hospital janitor who became rich working as a torturer in Tehrans notorious Evin Prison, he now moonlights as an uncertified backstreet doctor specializing in honour surgery for unmarried young women. Fattah has nothing but contempt for these women; that is until the beautiful Shahrzad lands on his operating table, and soon he is dangerously infatuated.

Undeterred that she is promised to and in love with another man, the younger and less affluent Mostafa, Fattah sets out to win Shahrzad by any means. Robbed of his bride, the jilted and furious Mostafa launches a desperate plan to move her beyond his rivals reach by falsely reporting her as an opponent of the regime, a mission that takes him deep into Tehrans underworld of criminals and provocateurs.
