‘Zalava’ Review: Scientific Beliefs Clash With Superstition
The scripters continue to craftily raise the stakes as Amardan escapes and the sergeant returns to Zalava by night with his aide Younes (well-played for comic effect by Baset Rezaei).

As the crazed villagers start to threaten the doctor, the struggle between reason and madness reaches an apex.
