In Kiarostami’s second documentary feature about education, he interviews a succession of invariably cute and appealing first- and second graders who steal the show. Tellingly, many kids can define “punishment” (the corporal variety seems common) but not “encouragement.” An eye-opening look at the education system in Iran, where, it emerges, many of the kids’ parents are illiterate.
