Though he comes from a poor area south of Tehran, Sia has always loved Italy. Dubbed 'Sia Sicily' by his friends, he makes a meagre living as a petty crook and conman, but dreams of one day living up to the wealth and status of his favoured nation. His chance comes when one day he is offered to help his friend Sohrab with a 'big job', one which could set him up for life. Rohollah Hoseini directs this tale of two lowborn men who seize the opportunity to better themselves, and a strong central relationship helps elevate this crime drama above other such genre mainstays.

The short film Tribune is the most heartfelt film I've ever made. A wonderful experience with a first-class teamwork. The only movie whose screenplay was written by someone other than myself. Thank you to Adel Tabrizi, who gave me his screenplay that year, and thank you to Saba Ghasemi, who brought us all together as a producer to create an interesting experience for all of us.

This film is the story of a young couple who have a disagreement on their wedding night, and this disagreement becomes a fundamental problem in their life together. This disagreement continues, and the girl constantly pampers herself, and the poor husband runs after her.
