A young girl in Tehran sets out to buy a special goldfish for New Year’s Eve, only to lose the money along the way. Her simple errand becomes an adventure as she encounters strangers who help or hinder her search. Jafar Panahi’s directorial debut is a tender, observant tale of childhood determination and the unexpected kindnesses of everyday life.
