Yesterday I watched this film. This one is a trully great film by first time Kurdish filmmaker Bahman Ghobadi. The story concerns a family of Kurds on the Iran/Iraq border who is coping with the illness of its youngest member, the deformed Madi. Madi needs an operation or he will die within a month. Off course fact is that even with the operation, Madi is doomed & to me, this is the key to the movie's deeper truths. Madi's siblings try to find the money for his operation by any means necessary, including smuggling, marriage, and extremely hard physical labour.
All the actors are ametures and did a wonderful job. It's the most emotionally engaging film I've seen all year, highly reccomended.

Sounds like a good but hard film to watch. Mati as a metaphor for the plight of the Kurds?
