A moving critique on modern-day Iran as Mohammed an Afghani boy, refuse collector struggles to make ends meet in Iran.
Mohammed, an illiterate Afghani boy, works with his uncle as a refuse collector. In an unfortunate situation Mohammed’s uncle is arrested and jailed, and Mohammed is sacked from his work. The story opens at night in Tehran. A man conceals a large amount of money in a purpose built compartment of his bag. Walking back to his car a thief seated on the back of a motorbike snatches his bag. Driving into a park, the robber empties and throws the bag away without noticing the hidden money. The owner searching desperately for his bag finally catches up with the robber only to find out he did not discover the hidden compartment. The search for the bag is now on.
This is a beautifully shot, thought provoking film, one of the best recent examples of modern Iranian filmmaking. |
