A time for drunken horses

A brilliant film with superb acting from the children (English subtitles)

Five Kurdish children struggle to survive by picking up odd jobs in a distant town while their widower father is away earning a living smuggling over the Iran/Iraqi border. Madi (Mehdi Ekhtiar-Dini) is the eldest son, but he's severely handicapped so twelve year old Ayoub (Ayoub Ahmadi) bears the brunt of this responsibility while Rojin (Rojin Younessi), the eldest sister, acts as mother to the brood. Ameneh (Ameneh Ekhtiar-Dini), the middle child, helps both elder siblings, but mostly takes care of Madi. Then their father is returned home, dead from the landmines which pepper the landscape in first time director Bahman Ghobadi's Cannes Camera d'Or winner, "A Time for Drunken Horses."

@ max_b

Thank you for starting this topic

I think that it is VERY SAD not more people have taken an interest. This forum needs to show more of the cultural of Kurds.

Unfortunately, I cannot find hardly any Kurdish films with English sub-titles, but I found this which I enjoyed watching
