A nine year old girl who lives with her grandparents in Iran institutes a legal proceeding to stay with the parent of her choice, but it doesn't play out as she expects it to.
Shot by the young girl's aunt this is a warts and all portrait of a little girl you are either going to love or want to hit. A self absorbed kid who thinks she's got it all figured out I never warmed to her and wished someone would knock some sense into her. Because I didn't care for the kid at the center of the film I found it hard to feel for her plight.
While the look at Iranian society from a different perspective is very enlightening, there wasn't much here for me to hang on to.
