We follow a young schoolboy’s a-day-in-the-life journey in Kiarostami’s simple yet resonating breakthrough film. 

Kiarostami leaves us with a work of indelible beauty, continuing his fascination with the phenomenology of cinema and its relation to the ephemeral.

Plainfully simple yet thematically complex, this slow and bleak feature remains to be one of Kiarostami’s most profoundly engaging works.

A neorealist-inspired first feature by Kiarostami, charting his path to become one of cinema’s foremost chroniclers of the human condition.
