| Brief Description: | A young girl becomes lost in the hustle and bustle of Tehran, but the spirit of childhood takes over as guide when the charming little actress playing the girl decides she has had enough of the role. The director of The White Balloon shows how reality and fantasy merge in the playful mind of a child and through the illusion of cinema. "Dazzling...An ingenious piece of cinematic gamesmanship...as daringly original as any film this year" (Andrew Johnston, Time Out New York). Winner, Best Foreign Language Film, New York Film Critics Circle Awards. In Farsi with English subtitles.
