In the 1980s, a large number of war-torn Afghan civilians were forced to flock to Iran, struggling to survive. Barron, one of the protagonists of the film, is one of the refugees. His father, who worked as a black worker on a construction site in Iran, broke his leg in an accident. Seeing that the family's survival was unsustainable, Barron, the eldest daughter, went to the construction site in disguise to replace his father's work. In the days that followed, Barron met Latif, an Iranian boy, and fate brought them closer.
"Barron" is an outstanding Iranian realism film. Facing the cold and cruel reality, director Majid Majidi chose to tell the story in an affectionate and tender way. Under the simple image of the film, surging is fiery and pure emotion.
In the hearts of those who live in misery, there is a golden light that shines. The Iranians and Afghans in the film did not abandon their souls because of war and poverty, they were strong, kind, and as always.
