Synopsis

A young girl’s quest to buy a goldfish leads her on a detour-filled journey through the streets of Tehran on the eve of the Iranian New Year.

MUBI's take

Winner of the Caméra d’Or in 1995, Jafar Panahi’s debut feature is a testament to his humanistic filmmaking approach. Co-written with Abbas Kiarostami, The White Balloon is enchantingly simple and poetic—with a delicate touch of humour. This is an essential watch for fans of Iranian cinema.
