A blazingly passionate, spiritual bulletin from a contemporary front-line of almost unimaginable hardship. Bahman Ghobadi's movie is about a group of orphaned Kurdish children who live on the poverty line in a village near the Iran-Iraq border. Periodically, the children scramble aboard a truck to take them to Iraq to work in the market, or as foot- soldiers in various smuggling scams. That, or they transport heavy tyres in the snow and terrible cold - backbreaking work for which they are routinely cheated of their pay, and for which the conditions are so appalling that the mules and horses have to be fed whisky to get them to work.
