Four year old Jairan is ignored at home, and itching for something to do. She convinces her neighbour, an old lady who is partially blind, that they should travel across one of the world’s busiest cities, Tehran, to buy rice. What could possibly go wrong? A gentle take on Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Talebi’s disarming film starts as an odd-couple adventure, then opens out into something profound and unforgettable.
