Iran's submission for Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award consideration is a pitch-perfect, stunningly shot look at daily life.  Karim works at an ostrich farm outside of Tehran, Iran. He leads a simple and contented life with his family in his small house, until one day when one of the ostriches runs away. Karim is blamed for the loss and is fired from the farm. Soon after, he travels to the city in order to repair his elder daughter’s hearing aid but finds himself mistaken for a motorcycle taxi driver. Thus begins his new profession: ferrying people and goods through heavy traffic. The people and material goods he deals with daily starts to transform Karim’s generous and honest nature, much to the distress of his wife and daughters. It is up to those closest to him to restore the values that he had once cherished.  Grammy-nominated composer and musician Hossein Alizadeh, a master tar and setar player, provides the haunting score.  The film was nominated for Berlin International Film Festivial's Golden Bear and Reza Naji was awarded the Silver Bear as best actor for his performance. (NR/96 min.)
