Story told through soul.

Oh! What can I say about this precious gem out of place and time that is far way! Though it is 1997 when it was released but the culture was much behind from that time of modern culture.
Iran's official submission for the Foreign Language Film category of the 71st Academy Awards (1999)for best foreign language film.
This is a journey of soul in my words. The children represented the pure soul and the race is the "journey of life". Where only pure soul "childlike" that runs not for the win but for the "to get what it wants no matter what" even if he has the ability to get the best that is set by society.
When Ali was running everyday to get his shoes to get exchanged from Zahra, that where he is getting his training. LOL He is not doing on any big purpose but it is his unfortunate routine. He is man of the moment.
Even if you don't know Persian, you can watch it with know need of subs whatsoever. It really speaks the language of the soul.
Simply heart touching.
