Title: Simple story, powerfully told
Review: It's a pretty simple story about a Iranian boy's developing affections for a Afghan refugee girl. The situation is complicated by her masquerading as a boy to earn some desperately needed money for her family.Although it deals with youong love, this movie is by no means a fairy tale, which is the fate of almost all Hollywood movies telling similar stories. The characters may dream and yearn, but reality is always pressing and uncompromising. But the movie also offer hope. Perhaps in the end, life is not about the gratification of our desires, but how we reached out to others.
