Sinekatalog’s take
Abbas Kiarostami follows a schoolboy trying to return a classmate's notebook before the boy is expelled, searching a neighbouring village. Simple, tender and suspenseful, it gives a child's urgency the weight of a moral quest.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
