What happens
Qeysar (Persian: قیصر; English: Caesar; alternative titles in English include: Qaiser, and Gheisar) is a 1969 film by Iranian filmmaker Masoud Kimiai. The film was considered a "landmark in the Iranian cinema" and led to a new trend for brooding noir dramas in which outraged family honor is avenged. Behrooz Vossoughi as the eponymous hero Qeysar, became a well known actor in Iranian cinema. Sadegh Khalkhali, an Iranian Shia cleric and politician, spoke openly in 1980 about this film no longer to be shown after the Iranian Revolution. It was remade in Turkish as Alın Yazısı (1972) starring Cüneyt Arkın. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
