08/20/2010 c'est lent, mais prenant, pas grand chose à rajouter, on ressent comme une grande bouchée d'air dans ce film de la vie........avec une fin tracassante tout de même See more 03/18/2008 Very good. The plot is very simple, but very moving. Don't watch it while you're sleepy though... See more 02/11/2008 un petit bijou du cinema independant iranien... See more 10/31/2007 My favourite iranian movie. There's a lot of sensitivity in this story that points out the difficulties to be an afghan immigrate in Iran See more 09/10/2007 this one should be on "MUST SEE" list. The story is very simple but its cinematography is brilliant! See more Read all reviews
