The Nightingale of the Farm

1957 · Drama · Romance

A young peasant named Shirzad worked as an estate manager. The owner of the estate arrived here for the summer with his son Irdaz and daughter Zohra. Irdaz took a liking to the manager's sister Golnaz, and Shirzad to Zohra. Soon, a deep feeling of true love bound the two couples together. The landowner offered Shirzad a large ransom for his sister. But the young man refused—it is not customary among the people to give girls away for money, but rather to exchange them. Shirzad asked for Zohra's hand in marriage. The landowner agreed, but on the condition that Shirzad spend 25,000 tumans on his wedding. But where could a poor man get such a sum?
