回复 :This is an unusual film of exceptional values--75 minutes long in color, with hardly any spoken dialogs. I saw this Iranian film in Farsi without English subtitles at the Early Iranian cinema retrospective on-going International Film Festival of Kerala, India. That I was watching a print without subtitles did not make a difference as there were very few lines of spoken dialogs.This is a very accessible film for any audience to enjoy--its story and values are not merely Iranian, it's universal.The film is set in rural Iran that had not tasted petro-dollar prosperity. The setting is on fringes of desert land, where water is scarce, rainfall scanty and hardly any blade of grass is green. Add to it wind and dust that buffets and whips man and animal and you can imagine plight of the people who live on the fringes of society.The film is moving tale of a young teenager returning to his village with a goat--only to find his family and villagers have moved on to escape natures vagaries and that one old man remains. He gives the goat to him and goes in search of his family. Water is scarce and well water it treated with reverence and never wasted.

回复 :根据巴金小说《憩园》改编。杨家原是当地显贵，儿子杨梦痴吃喝嫖赌，样样俱全，很快将家业败光，不得已把最后一座花园住宅--憩园卖给了姚国栋。杨梦痴虽悔，却无决心重新做人，终于流落街头，只有小女儿寒儿时常去探望他。一日，寒儿偷入憩园想为父亲摘几枝茶花，遭姚国栋前妻之子小虎毒打。国栋的续弦妻子万昭华很同情寒儿一家的遭遇，由此想到顽劣成性的小虎，决心负起母亲的责任，挽救小虎。然而她的苦心却得不到家人的理解，反遭多方奚落，使她十分痛苦。终于，小虎因行为不检，死于非命，昭华深受刺激，险些流产。至此，国栋愕然醒悟，夫妻俩亦和好如初。剧中一幕夏梦饰演的昭华抱着一本巴金的《家》看得掉眼泪，应该是朱石麟先生对巴金老先生的致敬吧。本片在今天来看，一些性格和道德的分明表现可能略显过时，录影棚的布景更是一眼就能认出来的人工布景，却别有一番文学的张力和神韵。

回复 :Based on the true story of baby Jessica McClure who fell into a drain pipe in her back yard while playing. She was stuck in the pipe about 20 to 30 feet down and it took rescuers 58 hours to get her out. There was fear that if they shook the earth too much with machinery they could cause Jessica to fall further down and die.
