There are not many movies that demonstrate Tehran and the society in Iran in the time this movie was made. It offers not only such amazing spaces, but also a story that symbolically narrates the great fears of a society lost in their lack of understanding of the world. Great ending and some amazing scenes such as the one in the orphanage, the outdoor and the driving scenes, as well as the walks in the alleyways. If you like a movie to make you think, this is a good option for you. And I also would like to mention that I appreciated the remastered version of the movie by RAI channel.
