The Color of Paradise

1999 · dir. Majid Majidi · 88 min

“Story of a little boy, who sees the world by his heart and hands not by eyes...”

Mohammad joyfully returns to his tiny village on summer vacation from the Institute for the Blind, unaware of his widowed father's intentions to disown him in order to win the hand—and dowry—of a local woman. With the wedding swiftly approaching, Mohammad's future hangs precariously in the balance as his father struggles against his destiny, unable to see the wonder of life and love that's so clear to his son.
