Plot

Street children search for treasure.

Sinekatalog’s take

Majid Majidi's drama follows street kids sent to find buried treasure beneath a school. Warm and humane, with real child actors, it is a sentimental but affecting look at child labour, hope and education.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
