The Color of Paradise

Story of a little boy, who sees the world by his heart and hands not by eyes...

199988 min7.6 / 10

A tender, spiritually resonant drama about a blind boy's unconditional love confronting his father's moral blindness, set against the beauty of rural Iran.

Mohammad joyfully returns to his tiny village on summer vacation from the Institute for the Blind, unaware of his widowed father's intentions to disown him in order to win the hand—and dowry—of a local woman. With the wedding swiftly approaching, Mohammad's future hangs precariously in the balance as his father struggles against his destiny, unable to see the wonder of life and love that's so clear to his son.
