What Is The Lizard About?
The premise of The Lizard without spoilers.
Set in post‑revolutionary Iran, the film satirizes the clergy through petty thief Reza (Parviz Parastui). In prison he steals a cleric’s robes to escape, only to find the disguise brings little respect. Arriving in villages as a priest, locals welcome him and demand religious duties. While plotting his exit, he becomes a moral authority.
