Zero Degree Turn

A 2007 Iranian television series produced in cooperation with Hungary, France, and Lebanon. Set in Nazi-occupied Paris, it follows Habib, an Iranian student who falls deeply in love with a French Jewish woman. When her life is threatened, he enlists the help of an Iranian diplomat to forge passports and smuggle her to safety — a story inspired by the real heroism of diplomat Abdol Hossein Sardari.
