The play begins with the startling news that Karbalayi Fatullah has been brought back to life. It is said that the sheikh who performed this miracle will soon arrive in the village to resurrect all the other dead as well. Filled with hope, the villagers believe in this promise — but it is all a deception. However, Sheikh Nasrullah and Sheikh Ahmad, under the pretense of ‘resurrecting the dead,’ take everything people have and run away.
Iskandar, a man of reason and justice, stands helpless. Though he embodies truth and clarity, he cannot save a society that chooses to believe in ignorance, blind faith, and superstition. Such a people’s hero will be just like Iskandar.
