Malakout follows a tense night in a quiet provincial town. At eleven o’clock, a strange force enters the body of Mr. Maveddat. His three companions rush him through the dark streets to the only doctor available, a mysterious figure known as Dr. Sohrab Hatam. Inside Hatam’s isolated house, the group enters a world filled with fear and doubt. Hatam speaks with calm confidence and presents himself as a healer, but something in his voice feels off. His patient, Morteza Lachini, stays in another room. He is a man haunted by guilt and pain, waiting for the doctor to remove another piece of his own body. His presence adds a quiet pressure to the night. As the men talk, the truth behind the town, the doctor, and the past of each character starts to rise to the surface. Stories of sin, loss, and punishment connect them. Strange symbols appear in Hatam’s words. Lachini hints at a hidden crime. The unknown man in the group senses a darker pattern forming in the shadows of the house. What begins with a simple possession turns into a journey through fear, faith, and the thin line between healing and destruction. The town sleeps, unaware that a chain of events has started that will change every life inside that house. The night moves toward a breaking point. No one will leave untouched.
