This creates a problem, since her parents are expecting a significant amount of money from Amir for their daughter’s hand. Even his single mother tries to dissuade him from getting married.

Nonetheless, he excels at the work thanks to his strong swimming abilities and even manages to earn some extra cash competing in an eel-catching gambling competition. When he figures out that the fishery is poaching endangered sturgeon and involved in the black-market caviar trade, he volunteers to participate despite the dangerous underwater work involved.

Lead actor Abbasi powerfully conveys Amir’s gradual transformation from a light-hearted, morally upright young man to someone desperate to do whatever it takes not to lose his intended bride.
