Good Fortune | طالع سعد

PersianDrama, History 85 min 1997

In a mythical land, the birth of a child is accompanied by extraordinary powers that lead the people to believe he is destined to overthrow the tyrannical ruler and bring justice to their land. However, the ruler becomes aware of this prophecy and the threat the child poses to his reign. In response, he orders the child’s execution.

Fortunately, the child is spared and instead ends up in the care of a middle-aged couple who had longed for a child of their own. They raise him with love and care, and as the years pass, the child named Saad grows into a strong and brave young man.

Fate has a way of playing a significant role in this story. During a hunting accident, Saad finds himself in a position to save the ruler from a fatal outcome. However, the ruler remains unaware of Saad’s true identity. As the ruler investigates further and interprets certain signs and prophecies, he begins to suspect that this young man, who once saved his life, is indeed the very child he once sought to eliminate. This revelation sets the stage for a powerful and transformative journey, as the ruler grapples with the realization that the one he once considered a threat may now hold the key to his destiny and the future of the land.
