Bakhtay, (Noruz), about six years old,
wants to go to school to learn to read nice stories. She needs: a notebook, a
pen, to get there, to find the girls school when she is rejected at the boys
school, to get away from the bullying gang of boys, to get directions to the
girls school, to shove and elbow her way into a place to sit when she finds it,
to talk the teacher into letting her stay…
The children acting in this film are
wonderful. Nikbakt Noruz is phenomenal. She will clutch your heart and not let
go. This little girl marches and runs and smiles and cries and just never gives
up.
A most unusual film.
