it's all about love, peace, + tolerance.







we watched this several months ago and it deserves special recognition and is a film i'd recommend to the whole world to see, wholeheartedly!!!

this was hands down one of our favorite foreign/indie films of this year!

a completely unique twist with artistic and comedic effect on the effects of war/oppression in the middle east [islamic iran] and is about a woman trying to break free from an oppressed country that clearly is oppressive to women. extremely spirited, moving, heartwarming, funny, smart, witty, and utterly admirable. i LOVED this! it touched on so many topics relevant to today and was completely thought provoking.

we watched the making of the film as well and were blown away with the amount of art illustration talent and animation film making talent that the entire cast exhibited and amazed at the many impressive hands that lended itself to this film to make it the success and visual delight that it was. the main character was definitely an inspiration for all women and girls alike- and could be felt no matter what country or world you live in. not only that you laughed and wanted to cry with the little girl who led you across the screen and it was impossible not to become enamored with her, she was just completely adorable.
