Young gallant shares grief with candles in ‘The Tenth Night’

In the fourth episode of iFilm English TV Channel’s ‘The Tenth Night’, the young gallant shares his sorrow with candles.

He was mocked by Fakhrozzaman, a Qajar princess who is no more in power as the dynasty has been toppled down.

The woman has trust in no companion; so when the suitor asked the young woman’s hand in marriage, she repulsed him.

Produced by Hassan Beshkoufeh and directed by Hassan Fathi, ‘The Tenth Night’ hits the air daily at 22:00 GMT. Each episode is also repeated the next day at 04:00, 10:00 and 16:00.

It tells the tale of Heidar, who finds himself in a predicament after losing a bet.

As part of the wager, he must steal valuable items from a mansion once owned by a princess of the previous Qajar dynasty.

However, since the monarchy has been overthrown by the new ruler, Reza Pahlavi, Heidar's task becomes even riskier.

When Heidar encounters the princess during his mission, he becomes enamored with her and proposes marriage.

To dissuade him, the princess presents an impossible condition.

She challenges Heidar to organize and perform in a forbidden 10-night passion play known as Tazieh.

This play recounts the tragic martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS) and his loyal companions, traditionally staged during the mourning month of Muharram.

Accepting the challenge, Heidar embarks on the arduous task of staging the passion play.

Everything seems to be going well until the unexpected happens on the ninth night, leaving him facing unforeseen troubles on the ultimate night of the performance.
