A dysfunctional family makes a mad dash for the Turkish border to smuggle their older son out of the country in the debut feature from the son of legendary banned Iranian filmmaker Jafar Pahani. Though the political backdrop of families torn away from their loved ones remains strategically unspoken, Panahi generates a defiant sense of hope, humor, and freedom by simply capturing the love and commitment between the family and their impossibly cute, wide-eyed and long-lashed six-year-old trickster.
