Background

In Persian folklore, Ganj-e Qarun (Qarun's Treasure) is a symbol of major wealth.[1] Qarun is Persian for Korah, the biblical figure who lived contemporary to Moses.

Plot

Ali Bigham is a happy-go-lucky young man who accidentally saves a rich oldman's life named Qarun who is attempting suicide. Qarun is very wealthy but also sad and alone. He is ill and has no one to live with. Ali takes Qarun to his home and realizes that he is his own father who left him and his mother years ago. At first Ali rejects his father, but then Qarun gains his son's attention. Throughout the film Hasan accompanies Ali as a comedian.

Cast
gollark: <:bees:724389994663247974> you, you can totally have decent privacy with some work and a defeatist attitude just worsens the problem.
gollark: They mostly just exploit human social processing stuff rather than magically zapping changes into your brain.
gollark: Advertising is optimized to make you buy/do a thing. It just isn't *that* effective, compared to cognitohazards in fiction.
gollark: They kind of already have, but pretty mild ones.
gollark: There was a buffer or something it needed which didn't seem to exist because of me hackily patching stuff together, so I just assumed 512 bytes was enough.
