I saw this a long time ago back in Iran. The movie depicts the life of a "lower" class man who does something and winds up on the wrong side of life.
The first few minutes set the stage and the rest is the story. It shows how quickly life goes from one way to another.
The music is absolutely wonderful and brings out the full emotional depth of the movie.
The only con is that you must both speak Persian and know the culture of Iran at the time. If you don't then get an Iranian friend to explain the subtle parts.
It will make you cry in sorrow.
