Set in any country in the world, this heartfelt story of a father working hard to provide for his family would work. Being set in Tehran makes it a compelling must see for anybody whose knowledge of Iran and its people begins and ends with today’s nightly news. Mohammad Amir Naji is terrific as the father, Karim, the recently fired worker of an ostrich farm who finds a new life – and new temptations – driving a motorbike taxi in the big city. The relationship he builds with his son will break your heart…in a good way.
