iFilm English TV Channel’s series ‘Hodhod Bookstore’ has been scheduled to go on the playlist from December 22, 2024.

Airing of the series, directed by Marzieh Boroumand, is to start on Sunday night.

‘Hodhod Bookstore’ is about a man who passes away and leaves the ownership of a bookstore behind.

Keivan’s father has just passed away, leaving him and his brother Mansour the ownership of the Hodhod bookstore. Meanwhile, Mansour has a struggling company and is thinking of buying Keivan’s share of the bookstore and turning it into a fast food diner.

Against his will, Keyvan agrees to the deal for the sake of his sister. He then meets Gholam, a bus driver, who suggests they turn his old bus into a traveling bookstore or as they later call it a ‘book-bus’ and Keivan agrees.

The ‘book-bus’ travels to a different part of Tehran in every episode, leading to bitter-sweet events as Keivan and Gholam meet different people and help solve their problems through books.

The cast list of the series includes Amir-Hossein Seddiq, Ali Osivand, Farhad Ayeesh, Ramin Nasser-Nassir, Sahar Dolatshahi, Gelareh Abbasi, Mehraneh Mahin-Torabi, Reza Attaran, Shahrokh Foroutanian, and Bahareh Rahnama.

iFilm English TV will also repeat each episode of the series the following day at 02:00, 06:00, 13:00. It is comprised of 13 episodes.
