White Balloon

Before the Iranian New Year, the little girl Nasia (Aida Mohammadkhani) ) went to the market with her mother to buy New Year supplies. They passed by the snake tamer's stall and noticed that people were watching. When she squeezed in, she found that he was yelling at the audience, asking them to pay to watch the snake show, and selling fat goldfish. Nasia wanted to buy a goldfish, but because her family was poor, her mother only had 500 Tumans for the New Year, and a fish cost 100 Tumans, so her mother had to take Nasia home. She wanted to bargain with her mother for a New Year's gift, but was sternly rejected. Disappointed, she had to ask her brother for help, but he convinced her mother and gave her 500 tumans. Nasia put the money into the small fish jar and happily ran to the snake breeder's stall, ready to fulfill her wish. However, things suddenly took a turn for the better... The film won the Golden Camera Award at the 48th Cannes Film Festival.
