Plot

A blind professor regains his sight.

Sinekatalog’s take

Majid Majidi's drama follows a blind professor whose restored sight leads him astray from family and faith. Visually rich and spiritual, with Parviz Parastui strong, it is a humane, moving parable of gratitude and temptation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
