Wiki.
Santouri (known as The Music Man; Persian: سنتوری, also Romanized as Santoori) with the previous name of Ali Santouri is a 2007 Iranian musical drama film directed by Dariush Mehrjui dealing with the life of a santour player named Ali Bolourchi. The film's title, "Santouri" refers to one who can play the santour instrument. In Persian "playing the Santour" is also the euphemism for injecting heroin into one's veins; thrashing, for instance, one's arm for causing the main artery of the arm to swell, in preparation for the injection, is reminiscent of playing the santour.
The film has only been screened once in Iran and it has had limited release screenings in North America as well as some showings at various film festivals.
