Acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi (Children of Heaven; The Color of Paradise), an admirer of master Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray, brings a powerful, outsider’s perspective to a story about the lives of common people in Mumbai. Teenager Amir is constantly dodging trouble while dealing drugs in the underbelly of Mumbai. Following a drug bust, he evades the cops and ends up on the doorstep of his estranged sister Tara. Complications from concealing Amir land Tara in jail, but she still sees her brother as her only hope of living in the outside world again. While their lives have been darkened by despair, hope may shine from beyond the clouds. In a film that is not only visually stunning but captures the depth of emotions, Majidi emphasizes the values of love and family bonds, and explores “the undying spirit of people and their hope for life, in spite of all hardships.”
