This committed Iranian filmmaker clearly demonstrates that in order to change the world, it is necessary that we all listen to each other and that we change our vision and attitudes. This film is an hymn to solidarity and freedom, in spite of imprisonment.
We have chosen this film for its high cinematographic quality and its universal language. A film which encourages respect for the rights of the humble, whether children or women, but also of men, inviting them to grow in dignity.
