I am blessed to experience an amazing Iranian film Breath directed by Narges Abyar, a Jury member at Pune International Film Festival 2017. Film has visually stunning imageries and it showcases world painted through eyes of a little girl named Bahar. Film has narration in voice of naive girl along with animated stories imagined by her.
Bahar lived with her father, three brothers and grand-mother. She is brilliant as she could recall currencies, capitals of all countries. At a very young age she reads big spirituals books, starts lessons of Quran. She stands first in her class. Her father is suffering from asthma. Girl dreams to become doctor and cure her father. Her sketches are very beautiful and she wishes them to be showcased on television. Movie showcases Iranian culture and history through this film. Her mother forbids her to walk along with boy outside. She even says girls shouldn't laugh out loud, but just show smile.
Her father has gifted her wooden boat. Movie perfectly ends showing this toy drifts down in stream of water after military attack that destroyed the village.
The theater reverberated with wonderful applause while family shown celebrating over song from Bollywood Hindi film Sholey. The director has shown love for Indian culture and films. She asked to support for justice of Narges Ashtari, social worker in Odisha.
Lives of innocent children, their aspirations, lives are shattered by war, mass destruction caused by international conflicts. Movie boldly communicates consequences of war. This film received standing ovation in Pune!
