"Talebi’s disarming film starts as an odd-couple adventure, then opens out into something profound and unforgettable." Filmhouse
A small child and her elderly neighbour have all kinds of mundane but interesting adventures in the streets of Tehran to get a sack of rice. An unusual child movie, it is utterly unpredictable, very humane and extremely warm in its depiction of normal every day people.
The second part of a Mohammad-Ali Talebi double bill, with Willow and Wind. Dinner at a local restaurant, and special ticket prices, ia also available.
"The writer brilliantly shows how painful it is not to be old, but to grow old before your time." Ehsan Khoshbakht
