What is Poole Bigheyrat about?
The story follows Pouria, who agrees to a seemingly small favor for a young woman named Sara: he allows his name to be entered into her official identity papers. What looks at first like a simple bureaucratic shortcut soon grows complicated once Sara's strict, tradition-bound father learns of the arrangement. Pouria finds himself caught between the father's rigid sense of family honor and Sara's own quiet plan, because Sara is working toward settling a private grievance with her father. As the two men take each other's measure and Sara steers events from the sidelines, ordinary misunderstandings stack into larger ones. The film keeps its situations rooted in everyday domestic life, drawing its humor from mistaken assumptions, stubborn pride, and the gap between what each character says out loud and what they actually want. The short runtime pushes the plot briskly from one awkward encounter to the next without lingering.
Cast & crew
The cast is led by Mahsa Asim and Omid Barkhordari, supported by Hosein Torkjoosh, Zahra Dardaa, Ehsan Sakhi, Maryam Sedghi, Mahdi Azimi, and Alireza Mahmoudi. The ensemble carries the film's blend of comic timing and everyday domestic drama across its brief runtime.
