Ghazal (in Persian: غزل) is a 1975 Iranian film directed by Masoud Kimiai. It stars Mohammad Ali Fardin, Faramarz Gharibian and Pouri Banayi. It is based on the short story "The Interloper", written by Jorge Luis Borges.[1] Because Fardin had been typecast as a happy-go-lucky person who always appeared in movies with happy endings, this film was a departure for him and was not successful at the box office.

Plot

Hojjat and Zeinolabedin are two brothers who make a living by forestry. They have a steady life until Hojjat brings a prostitute from the city to the jungles. She keeps the house and washes and does the house chores and also has sex with each of the brothers. The two brothers fall in love with her and can not put up with the situation. They kill the girl, set fire to their house and leave the jungle.[2]
