Shahin, Ramin to represent Cain, Abel in ‘The Spiritualists’

Shahin and Ramin are to represent Cain and Abel in iFilm’s supernatural series ‘The Spiritualists’.

“And his soul permitted to him the murder of his brother, so he killed him and became among losers (Surah Al-Maidah),” the holy book of Quran says.

The holy book mentions that Abel (Hābīl) and Cain (Qābīl) are believed to have been the first two sons of Adam and Hawaʾ (Eve).

Both brothers were asked to offer up individual sacrifices to God; God accepted Abel's sacrifice and rejected Cain's; out of jealousy, Cain slew Abel – the first ever case of murder committed upon the Earth.

Don't miss the twenty fifth episode of the series on iFilm TV tonight at 18:00 GMT, or better yet watch it now via the website of the channel.

Each episode of the 30-part supernatural series will be repeated the next day at 00:00, 09:00 and 15:00.

Directed by Mohammad-Hossein Latifi, ‘The Spiritualists’ bears a conscious analogy to a number of stories in the Quran.

The story revolves around the two families of two brothers, Khalil and Jalil, who are different in almost every way possible; one brother is a 'spiritualist' and the other rejects his brother's faith with a vengeance.

The very close relationship between Dina and her grandfather, Khalil is one very unique and their deep religious beliefs help them stand all sorts of trials and tribulations.

Both brothers have sons they are not proud of and these sons make troubles that caused the risk of death for both families.

On the cast list are Sorayya Qasemi, Hamid Ebrahimi, Mohammad Kasbi, Pouriya Poursorkh, Borzou Arjmand, Mehran Rajabi, Sirous Gorjestani, Baran Kosari, Mehraneh Mahin-Torabi, Mohsen Qazi-Moradi, Ardalan Shoja-Kaveh, Afshin Sangchap, and Hossein Mahjoub.
