    I did not know whom to pity the most-their ignorant father or the poor kids. I did not catch the end of the movie, but yes, I did see enough to conclude that this was not moving, but made me think all the same.

    Made by a 17 year old Iranian girl, and a great symbolic film about women's freedom in the Muslim world.

    Extreme docudrama: real people acting out their own life stories.
  • June 7, 2006
    Fascinating Iranian film based on a true story and acted by the subjects themselves. This is why I love foreign movies.
