A film thats been sitting in my watchlist for a long time.
Probably the best film i've seen maybe this year. Its a film thats able to have its camera witness the way we lecture our youth.
What builds characters? In the eyes of many but probably a lot in a country like iran, its a hard beating and yelling. We also let children work hard and tell them to grow up yet we don't take them seriously which in of itself is contradicting.(Watch my feature film https://boxd.it/cQ1mBp )

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gentle, observant journey through a child's world where a small mistake becomes an urgent moral mission. This is cinema that trusts the complexity of a young boy's heart and finds profound meaning in an ordinary village day.
