Abolhassan Davoodi, The rain man (2000)

 

  O Dr Hadi κάνει έρευνα πάνω στη θεραπεία του καρκίνου. Ένα φυτό είναι πολλά υποσχόμενο. Κάποιοι ασθενείς του θεραπεύονται, κάποιοι όχι. Και τότε του την πέφτουν.

  Ένας απ’ αυτούς που πεθαίνουν είναι και ο πατέρας της Ziba, συναδέλφου ογκολόγου, με την οποία έχει σχέση. Θα τον εγκαταλείψει, όμως όχι γι’ αυτό, δεν καλοκατάλαβα για ποιο λόγο. Θα πάει στις ΗΠΑ, θα παντρευτεί σε μια προσπάθεια να τον ξεπεράσει, δεν τα καταφέρνει, σε έξι μήνες χωρίζει. Μετά από 18 χρόνια επιστρέφει. Θα ενθαρρύνει τον Hadi, προτείνοντας νέες μεθόδους απόσταξης. Μαζί θα εκδράμουν στα βουνά για να μαζέψουν το φυτό.

  Ο Hadi είναι παντρεμένος. Έχει ένα γιο και μια κόρη.

  Μια αναθέρμανση της σχέσης τι προοπτική μπορεί να έχει;

  Liebe über Alles, η αγάπη πάνω από όλα.

  Η γυναίκα του του λέει, ποτέ δεν με αγάπησες. Τουλάχιστον ζήσε αυτόν τον έρωτα.

  Και στην Τεχεράνη προσπαθεί να τον ξεπεράσει. Αρραβωνιάζεται με το φίλο και συνάδελφό του. Όμως θα διαλύσει τον αρραβώνα.

  Παρά το ασαφές τέλος, νομίζω υπάρχει το happy end.

  Η προηγούμενη ταινία του ήταν η «Sweet smell of life» (1994), κωμωδία κι αυτή. Βρήκαμε την ταινία στο imvbox, όμως χωρίς υπότιτλους. Δίνουμε την περίληψη που δίνει.

  Kamal and Jamal are a pair of twin brothers who look quite similar but possess two different types of morale and mentality. One night, Jamal who is a hospital assistant, finds an old man's senseless body on a street. He takes the old man to the hospital and saves him from death. The old man's brother, along with his lawyer who is a shyster man, are looking to seize the old man's wealth such as his old house. The obstinate old man decides to sell his house at a low price to Jamal in order to appreciate his help. The old man's brother, his lawyer, Kamal and his wife are trying to prevent this happening or at least to get a share of the house. They even defraud each other to achieve their goal.
