A boy travels to Tehran to attend a football match.
Sinekatalog’s take
Abbas Kiarostami's first feature follows a mischievous boy who cheats his way to Tehran to see a football match. Simple, ironic and affecting, it plants the seeds of his later themes and is a quietly astonishing debut.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
