Plot
A documentary on schoolchildren and their homework.
Sinekatalog’s take
Abbas Kiarostami's documentary questions Iranian schoolchildren about their homework and exposes a rigid system and anxious parents. Simple and revealing, it is a quietly powerful look at education and authority.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
