Lollipop

Maral (played by Hengameh Hamidzadeh) intends to go abroad with her boyfriend Mehrdad (played by Milad Kiomram). The Maral family has a traditional mindset, and his brother Morteza (played by Karim Amini), who is violent, is also in conflict with him. This causes Maral to run away from home. At the same time, Morteza, with the help of Farhad family's son-in-law (played by Reza Attaran), who is the husband of his cousin, is trying to find Maral. They first go to his old classmate and then to Mehrdad and find out that Mehrdad has been unaware of Maral for the past four years.

Directed by Mohammadhossein Farahbakhsh, Lollipop leans on a strong ensemble — Reza Attaran, Sahar Ghoreyshi, Hengameh Hamidzadeh — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2016.
