This movie genuinely broke something in me. Mohammed saying he wishes he could touch Allah because he can’t see Him  just to make God feel his pain is one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard. He talks about God being in the wind, in the trees, in every sound… meanwhile the people around him keep failing him.

And the father ?? As frustrating as he is, you can feel that his shame and fear are twisted versions of “protection.” He thinks pushing Mohammed away will somehow shield him but it only creates more pain. It’s not evil, it’s weakness. That’s what makes it hurt more.

And that ending…Pure magic. Pure cinema. I was holding my breath. A quiet miracle that feels like mercy. I’m not recovering from this anytime soon.

top 3 worst dads ever.

iranian cinema never disappoints. god knows how many beautiful films have been lost on most platforms like this one. and many more who have also been ignored due to the 1 inch subtitle barrier.
absolutely stunning ending which boosted this to a 4 star.
again, the farsi language speaks to the viewer about love so poetically that it makes me want to learn it.

“God is everywhere you can feel Him. You see Him through your fingertips. Now I reach everywhere for God till the day my hands touch Him.”
What a line!! 🥲🥲 that man is a HORRIBLE father to let his son go like that, however, the little boy and his father’s acting was impeccable. Such an emotionally provoking film.

there is something normal within you that feels extraordinary to others and that's when you know that life can still be bearable at least.

I don’t know what to say about this film
At the very least, it made me thank Allah for all the blessings we often take for granted
