Ramadan lesson from iFilm’s ‘Hereafter’

Let’s learn a Ramadan lesson from iFilm’s ‘Hereafter’.

Lying and cursing are classified among the greater sins but the ugliness of those sins is much more in the holy month of Ramadan for the fasting person.

Therefore, one of the manifestations of this belief as shown in the Iranian series is that people refuse to break their fast by lying or backbiting.

Iranians started this year’s holy month of Ramadan on April 3.

Produced by Mohsen Shayanfar and directed by Mohammad-Reza Ahanj, in ‘Hereafter’, Haj Fattah owns a clothing factory and is about to open up a new store.

He tells his family members that he is going to transfer it to one of them. They all want to know who is going to get the new store, with an intense rivalry between his son-in-law and daughter-in-law to ensure that their spouse is the one who gets it.

But before this can happen, Haj Fattah gets into a car accident that leaves him in a coma. The doctors say he is brain-dead with no chance of recovery.

At death’s doorstep, Haj Fattah’s spirit is joined by his guardian angel, who has come to help him redeem his soul by correcting the wrongs he has done in his life.

The series cast list includes Kourosh Tahami, Kamand Amir-Soleymani, Ahou Kheradmand, Mohammad-Reza Sharifinia, Reza Rouygari, Iraj Nozari, Rose Razavi, Fakhreddin Seddiq-Sharif, Nima Shahrokh-Shahi, Tarlan Parvaneh, Ali Dehkordi, Parvaneh Masoumi, Fariba Motekhasses, and Mahshid Afsharzadeh.
