'The Tenth Night' takes the stage on iFilm TV

On Tuesday night, July 18, 2023, iFilm English TV will present its latest series, 'The Tenth Night', taking the place of the police-themed show, 'Coast Guard'.

Produced by Hassan Beshkoufeh and directed by Hassan Fathi, this captivating series will take viewers on a unique journey.

'The Tenth Night' 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 Ta'zieh. 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.
