Even prosperous families. If I hadn't read the notes I might not even have known that the film was in the Kurdish language. I would have said it was a beautiful and unusual film. It treats ordinary people in a poetic way. We can watch it, because of its universal quality.
Movies have no border.
Even when this movie is shown in Tehran the film has an impact on people that goes beyond borders and boundaries, people see real life. My experience has indicated that, as I've gone around the world, and seen the reaction to the movie in different places. There was a showing in the US after which 200 people were standing around, very emotional. A couple of them, as I walked out, they were crying. In Telluride, at the film festival, they had seven showings.
