Takam-Chi (film)

Takam-Chi (Persian: تکم چی‎‎) is an Iranian motion picture, produced and released in 2008, directed by Yadollah Samadi.

The film relates the story of a young and charming woman from Ardabil (Ālmā Sharifi played by Ātefeh Noori) studying and working in Tehran. When her father unexpectedly comes to visit her, suddenly she finds herself deeply embarrassed by her father, specifically when the latter keeps speaking to her in Azerbaijani in public. The matters get worse, when it turns out that the father also plans to work during his stay in Tehran as a Takam-Chi in a traditional Azerbaijani coffee-shop owned by a relative from Ardebil who has already settled in Tehran. The dialogue of this film is partly in Azerbaijani and partly in Persian.
