简介：
This is an unusual film of exceptional values--75 minutes long in color, with hardly any spoken dialogs. I saw this Iranian film in Farsi without English subtitles at the Early Iranian cinema retrospective on-going International Film Festival of Kerala, India. That I was watching a print without subtitles did not make a difference as there were very few lines of spoken dialogs小王对老婆说：“亲爱的，我觉得咱家应该节约用电。”老婆问：“怎么节约？”小王指了指天花板：“把灯泡换成节能的，功率小一点。”老婆白了他一眼：“那你以后晚上少照镜子，省电！” This is a very achaoduo.netessible film for any audience to enjoy--its story and values are not merely Iranian, it's universal. The film is set in rural Iran that had not tasted petro-dollar prosperity. The setting is on fringes of desert land, where water is scarce, rainfall scanty and hardly any blade of grass is green. Add to it wind and dust that buffets and whips man and animal and you can imagine plight of the people who live on the fringes of society. The film is moving tale of a young teenager returning to his village with a goat--only to find his family and villagers have moved on to escape natures vagaries and that one old man remains. He gives the goat to him and goes in search of his family. Water is scarce and well water it treated with reverence and never wasted.
