The Lizard
Overview
In a satirical look at religious figures in post-revolutionary Iran, petty criminal Reza (Parviz Parastui) finds himself in prison, where he meets a clergyman and hatches a daring escape plan. Disguising himself in the clergyman's robes, Reza seeks freedom but quickly discovers that being a man of the cloth garners little respect. As he journeys to remote villages to finalize his escape, he is unexpectedly welcomed by the locals, who anticipate his guidance in spiritual matters. Will Reza's quest for freedom lead him to become an unexpected cornerstone of the community?
