A heart breaking and harrowing film about orphaned Kurdish children who fight for survival at the Iraq-Iran border that's emotionally shattering and one of the best films in the Iranian Cinema. Writer and director Bahman Ghobadi manages to erase the line between documentary and fiction to gives an insight about the cursed life of the his people, the Kurds who are the most unfortunate people of all because they don't have a country to call home and are at the mercy of Iraq, Iran and Turkey. The plight of the children and horses will haunt you long after the film is finished. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
