Pul-e Khareji

Morteza is a lowly government official, grappling with the usual, financial problems. He unexpectedly comes into fifty thousand dollars and decides to keep his treasure a secret from everyone. Later he decides to sell the dollars at the foreign exchange black market and ends by becoming a foreign currency dealer.

"The film is the story of a man who gets involved in an unusual event. What attracted me to the story was its entanglement with small but serious problems that at the same time have a humorous tone. It is an illusion for people to get rid of the problems and difficulties Of everyday life. And, more often, illusions appear in their lives..." (Rakhshan BaniEtemad)
