We see an attack on a jeweller’s shop in Teheran. The raid gets totally out of hand. Before the film has picked up speed, the attacker has pointed the gun at his own temple. Panahi then cuts to pizza delivery boy Hussain, fat and bloated as a result of cortisone treatment. Together with his future brother-in-law, he is refused service by the fashionable jeweller, who decides by the look of them that they don’t have enough money anyway. As a result of this humiliation, the series of fascinating events and colourful peregrinations begin. Without raising an accusatory finger, Panahi created a universal metaphor for the disastrous relationships between poor and rich. The hero, a silent, worrying war veteran, is someone you can find in any world city. That we know his fate serves to increase the feeling of despair even more.
