Rating: NR

In this Iranian family drama, a Ministry of Culture employee travels with his son into mountain forests north of Teheran where he sets up his screen

and projector before villagers who have never seen a film before. In open-air screenings, these villagers see both Charlie Chaplin and a village

melodrama.

Entranced, the audience continues to watch even when a rainstorm blows in -- and some in the audiences identify with situations they

see depicted on the screen.

Shown at the 1997 San Sebastian Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide
