Plot
editThe title, "Char Khooneh," serves as a pun, meaning both "plaid" and "four houses." The Jamali family occupies and owns a four-unit apartment building. Mansour Jamali, husband of Shokouh Jamali, is employed at an Egg and Hen Company and eagerly anticipates a promotion to manager. Once he secures the position, he encounters difficulties and is replaced by the boss's nephew, Farzad Paknejad. Farzad also rents an apartment from Shokouh and gradually develops a romantic relationship with their daughter, Parastoo. Parastoo, a third-year psychology student at the local university, enjoys applying the concepts she learns in class to her family interactions. The family's other daughter Rana works as a flight attendant, while her husband Hamed, an aspiring singer, performs in nearly every episode, eagerly awaiting the day he achieves fame and releases his album. Nazir Shanbeh, a comically sycophantic caretaker, is welcomed into the family by Shokouh. He is known for his amusing accents, high-pitched screams, and emotional outbursts when things don't go as planned. Despite the wild escapades the characters experience, they ultimately form a loving and tight-knit family.
