Meet passionate Iranian passenger in ‘Green Roads of the North’

In tonight episode of iFilm English TV Channel’s ‘Green Roads of the North’, a friendly passenger is to uplift everyone’s mood.

Two brothers are on a road trip to the north of the country, where they hope to find their lost mother. Although their path crosses some of the most scenic landscapes of the country, they cannot help but to talk about the bitter past when the Manjil-Rudbar earthquake took away their half-sister and her mother.

The 1990 Manjil-Rudbar quake was a devastating natural disaster that left behind countless ruined houses and killed so many residents of the two cities.

As soon as the two men come across a couple, standing on the side of the road, and decide to give them a ride, their mood suddenly gets elevated as the male passenger turns out to be very friendly and talkative.

The man discloses too much details about his personal life to answer a simple question about his job. He goes on to narrate his love story and how he managed to ask for his wife’s hand in marriage.

Directed by Abbas Rafei and produced by Asghar Zaeri, the series is about an old lady, a mother of five, who lives with one of her sons in the northern region of Iran.

An older boy from the north calls his brother’s school and informs them that it has been a few days since the mother left the house and no trace of her whereabouts could be found.

Notable on the cast list are Bijan Emkanian, Habib Esmaeeli, Nasrin Moqanlou, Mina Norouzifar, Hamid Lolaee, Farideh Daryamaj and Mahnaz Afzali.

‘Green Roads of the North’, comprised of 18 episodes and made in 2002, is aired daily at 23:00 GMT.

iFilm English TV also repeats each episode of the social drama on the next day at 05:00, 11:00 and 17:00.
