| Brief Description: | Ten-year-old Bashu (Adnan Afravian) is orphaned when his Persian Gulf
village is bombed. Hiding in the back of a truck, he is taken north
around the Caspian Sea, where he jumps off. The people in this alien
land take a dislike to the little stranger and deride his skin and
accent. Nai (Susan Taslimi), a woman whose husband is away, finds the
boy and accepts him as her own son. "A pure joy in which there are
absolutely no false moves" (Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times). Farsi
with English subtitles. |
