Synopsis:Two children invent an intricate plan to conceal the loss of a pair of shoes. Ali (Amir Farrokh Hashemian) and his sister Zhara (Bahare Seddiqi) are living in a poor neighborhood. Their mother is suffering from illness and their father is overworked and underpaid. When Ali is sent out to pick up his sister's shoes, a blind street peddler accidentally swipes them.

If you have a subtitle file(*.srt), you must remember to put it in same directory as the video you’re going to watch.

Many media players, like VLC Media Player, Window Media Player and GOM player, supports subtitles and automatic displaying when the names of video and subtitle files correspond each other. Unfortunately the names of video and subtitle files rarely match when you download them on different sources.

In that case, rename your subtitle file to the same name as your video file.
For example, if your video file name is LostS0610.avi or LostS0610.wmv, then your subtitle file name must be LostS0610.srt.

After rename your files, run the video file by your default software, the subtitles will be displayed automatically.

a long time ago :) i thought it was a pretty good start, but wished that the actors (the father and rahim khan) were afghans, not iranis, because of the slight accent differences.
thought the little boys were brilliant

Taste of Cherry (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120265/) is the movie which planted Iran firmly on the map of world cinema, when Abbas Kiarostami (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbas_Kiarostami) won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival for it in 1997.

The Lizard (Marmoulak) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmoulak)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/38/Marmulak.jpg

Plot synopsis: One of the funniest movies to come out of Iran in the past 30 years, The Lizard is about an imprisoned thief who escapes by donning clerical garb and accidentally becomes the revered leader of a small-town mosque, bringing people flooding in with his on the hoof sermons featuring sexual innuendo and references to Tarantino's Pulp Fiction.

The film was such a pop-culture sensation that young Iranians began referring to clerics on the street as "lizards." The Lizard was never officially banned, but it was pulled from theaters after several of the country's ruling clergy protested.

Interesting side note: Director Tabrizi went on to produce some of the campaign videos for Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani's presidential bid in 2005.
