Salt Pan Fishermen
1965, Persian. Directed by Akbar Hashemi.
In a southern port, two tribes are engaged in fishing. These two tribes have long had differences. Their dispute is about access to salt, which is absolutely impossible for one of them to obtain. As a result, despite much hardship and effort in fishing, due to the lack of salt to preserve the caught fish, their product constantly spoils before it reaches the market, which has led to numerous conflicts. Suddenly, two loves emerge. The roots of discord and hatred push these two loves to the brink of destruction, but ultimately it is love that, after years of conflict, brings the two tribes closer together.
