From Director Majid Majidi
Old man: Come and warm yourself.
Lateef: Please, there is a hole in my shoe. Can you fix it?
(Old man accepts shoe and starts fixing it)
Lateef: Do you live here?
Old man: Everyone who meets me, meets me on the road.
Lateef: Do you know Soltan?
Old man: There are many Afghans called Soltan.
Lateef: He is a construction worker.
Old man: All Afghans are builders. At dawn they go to cities, at dusk they come back home.
Lateef: Are you living with anyone here?
Old man: A man alone is a neighbor of God. ''From the hot fire of being apart comes the flame that burns the heart.''
Lateef: You speak very well.
Old man: These are words from the heart, my son.
An unconventional love story set in modern day Iran, focused on the very hard life of Afghan emigrants. It's about one boy growing up and finding that giving more and more of oneself is the only true response to love.
Highly recommended!
