The Song of Sparrows
Chasing dreams. Finding hope.
Directed by Majid Majidi
Produced by Majid Majidi Film Production
A tender, humanistic drama about a rural father's struggle to bridge tradition and modernity for his deaf daughter's sake, set against the collision of village and city life in Iran.
When an ostrich-rancher focuses on replacing his daughter's hearing aid, which breaks right before crucial exams, everything changes for a struggling rural family in Iran. Karim motorbikes into a world alien to him - incredibly hectic Tehran, where sudden opportunities for independence, thrill and challenge him. But his honor and honesty, plus traditional authority over his inventive clan, are tested, as he stumbles among vast cultural and economic gaps between his village nestled in the desert, and a throbbing international metropolis.
