Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 

The Song of Sparrows

Karim, a peasant, loses his job and starts work in Teheran ferrying people and deliveries on motorbike in order to provide for his family. Will he be able to resist the influences that threaten his hitherto safe and simple world? This distinctive reminiscence of De Sica’s Bicycle Thieves (1948) offers a metaphor for the endangered world of pure values. For his performance, Reza Najie was awarded a Silver Bear at this year’s Berlinale.
