Hajji Washington

Hajji Hossein-Gholi Noori is a man of state. People call him Haji Baba for short. He is sent to Washington as ambassador. He is the first Iranian ambassador to the United States. He goes and opens the embassy building. Then the work comes to a standstill. He is in no position to invite anyone. The money that should come from Tehran does not arrive. The costs of the embassy cannot be met. The man has to let the staff go. He is left almost alone in the large building. He tries to carry on with his duty with nothing in hand. One night there is a knock at his door. The person who has come is President Grover Cleveland. Ezzatollah Entezami and Richard Harrison appear in the hundred minute film, an Iranian production Ali Hatami finished in 1983.
