    Much more complex than it appears. A poetic meditation on what it means to see suffering. Modest, humble, self-effacing and beautiful and utterly tragic in its commitment to realism.

    Beyond giving a human face to Uganda's crises, Kiarostami attempts to capture the actual place, a swirl of contradictions as vibrant and beautiful as it is troubled.

    Kiarostami shoots Africa with an uncanny verisimilitude, coming close here to his idea of a "poetic cinema" indebted more to poetry and music than the theatrical novelistic storytelling tradition.

    The emphasis in this surprisingly cheerful film is on the resilience of the living.
