Hoja’s Revival (1950s)

The film depicts a peaceful town disrupted by a riot sparked by public discontent with the government. A character named Hamid, amidst the chaos, recalls a story about Nasr-ed-din Hoja, who was falsely convinced of his impending death due to the malicious gossip of envious villagers. The story serves as a metaphor for the dangers of believing in negative narratives, emphasizing that such agitation can undermine the stability of society. Ultimately, Hoja’s realization that he is not dying mirrors the need for people to recognize and resist misleading influences about their government.
