Iran/Colour/2003/82 mins

An Odyssey-like journey of two downtown boys in Tehran.A semi-postmodern movie with talking tower cranes and radios that control the entire city watch this movie for sure. The second work of inseparable directors Bijan Birang and Masood Rasam after Ali and the Jungle Monster and a strange turn in directing.

This is a complex fantasy that will keep many with special taste satisfied. The plot is so strange that it makes it impossible to describe in a couple of lines. Enough to say that if you're going to the theatres for fun choose another movie. Cinderella is a movie for those who like to watch an odd film and have a lot to think about afterwards.
