Iranian-Australian filmmaker Granaz Moussavi (My Tehran for Sale) returns with the tale of a street-smart boy working to support his family in Kabul. Hewad is an irrepressible kid hustling everything from pomegranate juice to protection from the evil eye. His real ambition is to be a movie star, and this comes a step closer when he meets an Australian photographer. But in a city where it is easy to be “martyred,” the streets are as perilous as they are vivid. This affecting slice-of-life tale is beautifully filmed and wonderfully well performed by a non-professional cast. Based on real events.
