| Brief Description: | A blind boy, whose father sees him as a burden, struggles to adjust when he is forced to leave a school for the blind and becomes an apprentice to a carpenter. The boy also relates strongly and spiritually to the sounds of nature around him, and his deep connection to a world beyond the one created by man is the center of this beautiful, heartfelt motion picture. "...draws your deepest emotions with the simplest of stories...in the tradition of similarly affecting films about childhood suffering, including Francois Truffaut's The 400 Blows and Robert Bresson's Mouchette" (Desson Howe, Washington Post). From the director of Children of Heaven. In Farsi with English subtitles.
Letterboxed. Includes English, French and Spanish subtitles. |
