Topoli (film)

Topoli (in Persian: تپلی, literally: The Fatty) is a 1972 Iranian film directed by Reza Mirlohi.

Morteza Aghili and Homayun play the main characters of the film.

The character of Topoli is loosely based on Lennie Small of Of Mice and Men as Essi is the Iranian version of George Milton in the novel.

Topoli is an intellectually disabled fat man who lives with his cousin Essi.

Essi doesn't want Topoli to be tortured by the pursuing workers, so he shoots him, to spare him from suffering a worse fate.
