Maryam, Sima on mission to find smuggled rice in ‘Brother’

Maryam and Sima are on a mission to find smuggled rice in iFilm English TV Channel’s series ‘Brother’.

Maryam Pahlevan, daughter of Haj Kazem, is searching for the smuggled rice to prove that her father is totally innocent.

On an infiltration mission to one of the main storages in the market, she and her colleague Sima find some evidence of the smuggled rice that its chemicals are above the permitted level.

Directed by Javad Afshar, the series is about Haj Kazem Pahlavan, a reputable merchant in Tehran’s rice bazaar, who is all about supporting domestic production and trades nothing but Iranian rice.

This puts him at odds with his disgruntled son, Nasser, who thinks making a profit is the only thing that matters.

In the meantime, his daughter, Maryam, a passionate young journalist, is conducting her own investigation into the expired and contaminated foreign rice flooding the market. To her surprise, all the clues lead to her own brother, Nasser.

What ensues is a power struggle between good and evil, in a story of love, sacrifice, and redemption.
