Plot
A young woman, Fati, dies in hospital. He family are devastated when they discover her death was self-inflicted. A letter she left reveals she committed suicide after being raped by Mansour Ab-Mangol, the brother of a friend who did nothing to stop it. Her older brother, Farman, an ex street thug who now runs a butcher-shop, decides to confront Mansour. His uncle persuades him not to exact revenge, and Farman gives up his knife. However, an enraged Farman gets into a fight with Mansour in front of Mansour's two younger brothers, Karim and Rahim. He tries to strangle him in a fury, but Karim stabs Farman to death on Rahim's orders. The brothers then take the body to some wasteland and plant a knife with it.
Qeysar, Farman's younger brother who works in Khuzestan, comes home with gifts for the family, only to find his siblings dead and his mother and uncle devastated by the events. Despite protests from his uncle, he decides take revenge, swearing to kill all three Ab-Mangol brothers one by one. He follows Karim to a public bath, stabbing him to death in a shower cubicle. He then finds Rahim working in a slaughterhouse, and murders him amid the cattle. Qeysar visits his former beloved, Azam, but realises that he must abandon love to pursue revenge.
Afraid for his life, Mansour goes into hiding, while the police pursue Qeysar. Qeysar's mother dies. This only aggravates matters, strengthening Qeysar's desire for revenge. At the funeral he eludes the police. Qeysar then learns that Mansour has a girlfriend, Soheila Ferdos, an erotic dancer and singer. Qeysar visits Soheila, and seduces her. She takes him back to her apartment. Having discovered from her Mansour's hideout, Qeysar pursues him. Mansour is laying low in a railway siding. Spotting Qeysar, he attempts to escape. Qeysar catches him and the two fight. Mansour stabs Qeysar, badly wounding him, but the police arrive and Mansour is forced to flee back towards the wounded Qeysar, who summons enough strength to kill Mansour in a final fight. Now Qeysar flees from the police, who shoot him in the leg. Badly wounded, he tries to hide in an old train carriage, but the police move in on him.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“If you need a certain vitality you can only supply it yourself, or there comes a point, anyway, when no one’s actions but your own seem dramatically convincing and justifiable in the plot that the number of your days concocts.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“There saw I how the secret felon wrought,
And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
