Drink Dealer

In Iran, where the production, sale, and possession of alcohol are met with severe penalties, a young man risks everything to escape poverty and provide a better life for his family. Secretly selling alcohol to save enough for a new home in the city, his dream slips further away as rising costs outpace his earnings. Desperate, he invests all his savings in one final shipment, only to be caught at a checkpoint. His arrest leads to devastating consequences: a prison sentence, harsh corporal punishment, and crippling fines, turning his pursuit of hope into a harsh lesson in sacrifice and survival.
