Wings of tradition: iFilm cut from 'Passion to Fly'

In tonight’s episode of iFilm's series ‘Passion to Fly’, captain Babaee embraces the role of a loving father for the first time.

Captain Babaee cradles his newborn in his arms, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his life.

The focal point in this episode is the Islamic tradition of reciting the Azdhan, or Adhan, in the ears of a newborn. This age-old practice, deeply rooted in Persian culture, symbolizes the introduction of the child to the melody of life.

In this symbolic act of reciting the Azdhan, captain Babaee not only welcomes his daughter into the world but also acknowledges the responsibility of nurturing and guiding her through life's journey.

The series, produced by Javad Norouzbeigi and directed by Yadollah Samadi, chronicles the martyrdom of Iran’s war hero Abbas Babaee.

The Iranian fighter pilot's heroic sacrifices for Iran and the Iranian nation will never fade in the nation's collective memory.

Shahab Hosseini, Elham Hamidi, Shahram Haqiqatdoust, Afsaneh Bayegan, Akram Mohammadi, Fakhreddin Seddiq-Sharif, Hassan Joharchi, and Setareh Eskandari are on the cast list.
