Barareh Nights (2005)

Season 1

The show stars Mehran Modiri, as Shir Farhad, the son of Lower Barare's khan, or leader. He lives with his sister, Saharnaz; mother, Shadone; and father, Salar Khan. The show begins when a journalist, Kiyanush, from Tehran is arrested for writing an article criticizing the government, escapes capture, and then is bitten by a snake. Shir Farhad finds him collapsed and brings him to the village of Barare, nurtures him to health, and gradually introduces him to the town and the other characters in the show, such as the families of Upper and Lower Barare's Khans, as well as the flamboyant village poet, Baguri, and village doctor. Later in the series, new characters such as the village gendarme and Upper Barare's Khan's son and daughter, Keivun and Leilun, join the cast. Davune doesn't appear in this.

S1E41 - Darbid

The title is actually "Derby" but when this word is spelled by the people of Barareh, it'll be changed to "Darbid". So, the rest of it is about a big derby match between Payin Barareh FC and Bala Barareh FC. But it actually wrapping the real derby of Tehran between Perspolis FC and Esteghlal FC. As long as everything in Shabhaye Barareh is a symbol of its real-world twin, so the director wants to blame on exaggerated contentions between the two teams of Tehran derby. Every single trouble of real-world Tehran derby is pictured but by using symbols. We can see the efforts of each team to pay the referee for making him kind to them or aggressive to the rival. We can see the efforts of each team to pay the newspapers to write partiality articles about their team. At the end Shir Farhad (Mehran Modiri) who is choose to be the referee, talks with his conscience about being partial with which team? But unfortunately, his conscience is asleep.
