The White Meadows

Iran

An extraordinary film. A middle-aged man rows his boat on a placid inland sea, visits small islands where he listens to peoples' woes and collects their tears in a glass bottle.

Engaging, poetic, beautifully photographed, enigmatic. A multi-layered metaphor that by the end seemed to summarize the human condition. As rich as any work of literature. This deserves to be seen.
