"To the glory of God"

Directed by acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi (“Children of Heaven”), the film is nothing short of visual poetry. The movie revolves around a blind boy, so attuned with nature that he counts the sounds of birds and reads the leaves of plants. Set in the picturesque rural town on Tehran, Majidi weaves through various themes in the short 90 minutes duration of one of his masterpieces. The movie opens with “In the name of God”, a line so simple yet it prepares you for what you will explore in the film itself. Majidi enables the viewers to engage their senses and treat every scene in the film as a personal interpretation.
