美丽城剧情简介：

以下转自烂番茄网站： A complex web of emotional and legal issues is being spun around a young man on death row in this drama from Iran. Akbar (Hossein Farzi-Zadeh) murdered his girlfriend when he was 16 years old; now that he s 18, he s being transferred from a facility for juvenile offenders to an adult prison, where he ll wait until his death sentence is carried out. However, no one is sure when that will be, because Akbar s father is required to pay blood money to Rahmati (Faramarz Gharibian), the father of the slain girl, and he hasn t been able to come up with the cash. Akbar s sentence could be commuted to life imprisonment if Rahmati would be willing to forgive him, and A la (Babak Ansari), a friend of Akbar who has recently been released from jail, wants to persuade Rahmati to give the young man a second chance. A la asks Firoozeh (Taraneh Alidoosti), Akbar s sister, for help, but she s already tried to intercede on his behalf, with no success, and is busy looking after her husband, a drug addict who sells dope to support his habit. A la turns to Rahmati s wife (Ahoo Kheradmand), who has a more merciful nature, and suggests a way out of the dilemma. Rahmati s younger daughter is ill, and needs medical treatment the family cannot afford -- if A la and Firoozeh can come up with the money for the doctors, Rahmati may be willing to forgive and forget. Beautiful City (aka Shahr-e Ziba) was the second feature film from writer and director Asghar Farhadi. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
