Another watch of this superb film. This was my initial review 5 years ago and my thoughts haven't changed much: "A very difficult watch. The troubles of a group of youngsters in a Kurdish refugee camp on the Iraq / Turk border during the US "liberation" of Iraq. One of the most solemn, melancholic movies I've ever seen. It truly captures the horrors of being an isolated, nomadic group of people that have no place in their country, or any country, due to conflict and prejudice. This film has left it's mark on me, and anybody who doesn't "get" why refugees should be housed not hated should regard this as required viewing. One warning: there's not many payoffs here"
The original title of the film is Lakposhtha Parvaz Mikonand.
One of the best movies I've watched.
One of the most important war movie which shows how war affects the most vulnerable of the population; the children.
