"Zakhm Kari" (Persian: زخمِ کاری, romanized: Zakhm-e Kâri, lit. Trenched Gash from Shakespeare's Macbeth) unfolds as a compelling 2021 Iranian neo-noir mystery drama and family series, meticulously crafted by the skilled hands of writer and director Mohammad Hossein Mahdavian. The narrative draws inspiration from the 2017 Mahmoud Hosseini Zad novella "Twenty Trenched Gashes," itself rooted in William Shakespeare's timeless play.
