Kimia’s father to do against odds: Scene cut

Farrokh Parsa, Kimia’s father, will take you aback on the 81st episode of ‘Kimia’ to be aired tonight at 19:00 GMT.

The man, who has made lots of sacrifices for his family and his homeland, meets up with Mahboubeh to help her see her brother, infamous Khosravi.

If you have followed the show, you know that Mahboubeh was the wife of a top-ranking SAVAK agent- intelligence service officer of the Pahlavi regime- and Khosravi, too, was a SAVAK agent.

Although, her family had cost Farrokh a great deal of misery and hardships, he now asks her for a money bribe to help her see her brother, who is now incarcerated as a prisoner of war.

Do you think Farrokh is after money, which is a great shocker after all that has happened, or he is merely following up a set plan to reveal a secret? 

Directed by Javad Afshar and produced by Mohammad-Reza Shafiee, ‘Kimia’ tells the story of a woman’s life during extremely important events in Iran’s contemporary history.

Kimia Parsa was a young girl living in the city of Khorramshahr during the reign of the country’s former king, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

We follow her as she experiences the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Saddam Hussein’s war on the country, and the present day.
