Intriguing story which kept me guessing until the end. Liked the dark atmosphere. The unconventional scenes: the lesbian friend, the mother taking off her head scarf / breast feeding I have not seen before in other Iranian movies. It made me think about the more conventional Iranian movies of Kiarostami, Farhadi as opposed to the more political films of Makhmalbaf, Panahi. Saw this movie online on Vitamine Cineville ( Dutch Arthouse Website ) as it had it premiere online a couple of weeks after Burnt Orange Heresey. Although I could have expected this from an arthouse movie the unresolved ending about what happened to their son kind of surprised me.

A "wandering" drama, great performance by all actors, impressive filming. Captivating dark aspects of Athens, the revolted youth, the agitation, the graffitied universities, prostitution and the port of Pireus. Among all this, an Iranian couple in search of their son. You can genuinely feel their loneliness and helplessness in an unknown country. I really enjoyed the film.

A worthwhile watch

Truly amazing performances and directing. A very sad story that shows the range of human emotion. As a Greek who lives in Athens I found the scenes filmed here realistic enough, even though they showcased the worst aspects of Athens and humanity in general.
Waste of time film
