    Description: The story opens at night in Tehran. A man conceals a large amount of money in a purpose built compartment of his bag. Walking back to his car a thief seated on the back of a motorbike snatches his bag. Driving into a park, the robber empties and throws the bag away without noticing the hidden money. The owner searching desperately for his bag finally catches up with the robber only to find out he did not discover the hidden compartment. The search for the bag is now on.

    This is a beautifully shot, thought provoking film, one of the best recent examples of modern Iranian filmmaking.

    Year: 2005
    Running Time: 70 minutes
    Country: Iran
    Cast: Mir Qanbar
    Showtime: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 @ 07:30 PM

    Director: Mohammad Shirvani

    Description: Once an employee of Iran's Ministry of the Interior, Mir Qanbar is now a 74-year-old retiree who has dedicated himself to winning an elected position in his country's government, be it the presidency or merely a seat in Parliament. Despite a profound lack of success (he has been disqualified from several presidential elections for not having enough votes, and gets infinitesimal support in parliamentary elections), Mir Qanbar and his faithful friend Seifollah, who distributes leaflets from a mule-drawn cart and has been promised the role of Minister for Health because he is disabled and can feel for those like him, campaign tirelessly, traveling from village to village, and talking with farmers, shepherds, and assorted passers-by. President Mir Qanbar throws up simple truths – an idealism which the filmmaker seems to say is disappearing.
