Plot summary

[edit]

Sohrab Salari (Behrouz Vosoughi) goes from Abadan to Tehran for work and becomes employed at his uncle's factory, Mostafa Salari (Mohsen Mahdavi). Sohrab meets a girl named Taraneh (Nouri Kessravi). Taraneh is pregnant. Taraneh's guardian, Asghar Zhila (Hasan Razianni), plots to pass Sohrab off as the father of the child so that the expenses of Taraneh's delivery fall on Sohrab. Sohrab develops feelings for his uncle's family friend’s daughter (Googoosh), but Taraneh is an obstacle for them. Sohrab and Taraneh argue in a boat, causing it to capsize, and Taraneh drowns in the water. The police arrest Sohrab as the murderer, but eventually, Sohrab is released; however, after his release, everyone distances themselves from him.
