Dancing in the Dust (2003)

Unlucky in both marriage and finances, Nazar (Yousef Khodaparast) is pressured into divorcing his wife (Baran Kosari) because of her family's bad reputation. This leads to money problems and, before long, Nazar is on the run, due to debts that he can't pay. Hiding out in the desert, he meets an eccentric elderly man (Faramarz Gharibian) who makes a living by collecting venom from poisonous snakes. Nazar becomes his unlikely partner and gets an unexpected chance at redemption.
