The Tiger of Mazandaran
A simple village boy, a wrestler with extraordinary strength, catches the eye of a famous coach from Tehran who happens to be at a village festival where local wrestlers are competing. The coach invites the boy to the capital to take up wrestling professionally, and soon the talented wrestler becomes a celebrity and the darling of all Iran, which arouses the envy of his teammates. A chance encounter with the mother of his future opponent for the national championship title turns his whole life upside down. A separate storyline follows the love affair between Habib, the main character, and Sitar, the daughter of a local wealthy man.
