| Marmoulak | comment |
A 2004 Iranian dramedy starring Parviz Parastui as "Reza the Lizard," a small-time crook famous for his ability to climb walls.When he is arrested and given a life sentence for armed robbery, he nearly despairs, but manages to escape in disguise as a mullah. Unfortunately for him, he is not a religious man and the only thing he knows about religion is a quote from the mullah whose clothes he stole: "There are as many ways to God as there are people".Reza is mistaken for a genuine cleric appointed to a small town, where he tries to hide until he can escape the country. Unfortunately for him, the prison warden is furious at his escape and will stop at nothing to recapture him. | |

Rescue Romance | |
| Marmoulak / int_149f7447 | comment |
Rescue Romance: Seems to be set up, as Reza rescues Faezeh from her abusive ex-husband. Ultimately averted, however, as the husband reforms and begs her to forgive him, which Reza encourages her to do. | |

Downer Ending: Reza is eventually caught by the warden. However, the warden is implied to have somewhat softened after witnessing Reza's redemption, and Reza has undergone a great deal of Character Development.. And the other character has admitted to having the gun Reza got his life sentence for, opening the prospect of eventual release. | |

Pet the Dog: Reza rescues a bird trapped in some wire, which is a sign that he is actually a good-hearted person despite being a criminal. The Warden excuses Reza for punching another prisoner and sends the provocateur to solitary instead. This helps establish him as a Well-Intentioned Extremist, not a simple sadist. | |
