(I believe that this movie is very Iranian and may confuse or tire foreign viewers, for example, why is the cheating of that cyclist interesting? Or what is the story of Lake Urmia, which has become a barren desert, etc.)
But for me, as an Iranian, that is exactly the reason I watch movies.
The challenge of "laughing to hide the sadness" does not leave not only the characters of the movie, but also the audience for a moment.
This movie is far away from Iranian cliché and every moment of it is surprising while is simple as well. The acting is brilliant, even the young actor.
The depth of the story is felt by those who have been involved in the migration phenomenon. Those who once only saw the beauty of their homeland and kissed its soil with love.
However, I think the movie should have ended in the night sky scene; Or at least in the foggy morning scene.
