5.0 out of 5 stars A heartwarming, lovely slice of life, 10 Nov 2001
By A Customer
It's wonderful to find a film that requires only
acting of the highest order and a plot so simple and yet capable of inducing climax...will they get the money? Will she get her fish?
A brilliant, engaging film from a part of the world that we don't get to see much of, except for
all the wrong reasons.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truffle of innocence, flavoured with a little empathy., 3 April 2001
If films were like chocolates then this would indeed be a truffle. It's content is a wonderfully whipped mixture of childhood and drama, at the centre of which is a sweet little gem of an actress. The characters are wholly believable and interesting and although it is in Farsi somehow this does not distance you from the experiences on screen. We all know that a child's world is fascinating, but rarely do we enter it in a way that this film allows. You will not just feel the emotions of how important a goldfish can be, but also feel the anticipation that most have not felt since they were six. Enjoy this morsel of empathy!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful story about a simple wish, 9 Jul 2005
By A Customer
As one reviewer already said, this film opens up a completely different side of a part of the world most of us hardly know. It leaves us with the feeling that deep down we all have the same needs and suffer the same trials, no matter how trivial they may seem to uninterested outsiders.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another gem from Iran
Set in Tehran this simple and enchanting film is testament to the power of cinema. There is no need for special effects, fancy editing, big stars or even complicated storylines... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but pretty tedious.
This is a good film, but one that really isn't that interesting. In its simplest terms, it's the story of a small girl who loses a large sum of money down a cellar vent and tries... Read more
