This movie beautifully balances both the historic and personal issues and pulls the threads together into a compelling narrative, made a bit quirky by the style of presentation, resulting in work that is altogether touching. Along with intelligence and humor, a deep and strong sense of truth infuses every part of this film, making it even stronger. | | | | Reply | | |

This enchanting animated, black-and-white film is meant for adults. It follows the life of a girl on the edge of puberty, living in Iran during the 80's and 90's, following her through the politically evolving age. | | | | Reply | | |
