In less than 90 minutes, the director tells a simple story about a boy's efforts to keep his friend from being fired for his negligence. The realistic brushstrokes are slowly narrated through smooth long shots, as if replicating the entire time and space. Amud was at home. A friend asked him to go out to play. The director used a fixed camera. Above Amud was a window. The boys stood outside the window. Reflected, a complete space without lens editing was skillfully presented by the director.
Poverty is not the theme of the director's cry, but a story in life, how the boy guards his friendship. And in this, every person he met, or the audience felt the dilemma brought by reality in this short eighty minutes. Innocent used its unique method to solve the complex propositions of the adult world. . And the rules became the way to show kindness. The old craftsman slowly told the impatient Amud why his younger brother left the countryside for the city, and told that the door he used to be proud of was gradually replaced by an iron door.
Times have changed, and adults don't care about children's innocent and natural way of doing things, but use rules and discipline to restrain them. And the children are as beautiful as the little flowers caught in the workbook.
