In this Bahman Ghobadi film, children’s lives cannot be separated from adults’ conditions of livelihood and borders. Family needs, sibling bonds and demanding geography form the background to everyday decisions. The Cannes record lists it as a joint Caméra d’Or winner in 2000.
Watch moments of work, travel and waiting alongside the dramatic events. Consider how geography determines living conditions rather than functioning simply as a backdrop. Turtles Can Fly continues the journey through another of Ghobadi’s narratives around childhood and war.
