So, in Iran, people are getting ready for the new year celebration. This isn't the worldwide new year in January everyone celebrates, this is the solar new year, which next will happen on March 21st. Sort of like a Spring Equinox celebration. Anyway, everyone puts a goldfish in their house to welcome new life for the new year. A little girl named Razieh desperately wants a new goldfish.
Her family's pond in the courtyard is full of goldfish, except she wants to buy one, because you know how kids are. Razieh reminds me of my daughter, Azalea, in a lot of ways. Except the speaking part of course. They are both determined to get what they want and are very stubborn. Also, they can whine like nobody's business.
Finally, the mom relents and lets her go buy a goldfish. They cost 100 tomans, and she has a 500 bill she gives her. I would have never given her money much less let her go by herself. She almost loses it a few times, and finally it falls down a grate. Some adults try to help her, and some don't. Later, her brother comes and helps her fish it out. Even though Razieh was careless in dropping the money, she was mature enough to figure out how to retrieve. Still, I wouldn't give my child cash and expect something not to happen. I will give this film a 7/10.
