Love and Irony in a setting probably unfamiliar to most Westerners. You'll feel the characters pain and their love! The film print is a bit tortured but this lends to the realism of the plight these people are going through. Shot in Iran (Persian mono comp with English Subtitles),the scenery is something most of us in the U.S. have never seen (Mostly due to the sanctions imposed after the embassy hostage takings in the 70's). All the special FX in the world could not have conveyed better, the terror of going down a hill on a bike with no brakes. Word.
