WHITE BALLOON (1995)
It’s New Year’s Eve in Tehran, Iran, where it’s a tradition to buy or catch a fish. Razieh yearns for a new goldfish for her family’s pond, but in 90 minutes (told in real time) all the shops will close for a week-long holiday. After badgering her mother for 500 tomans, Razieh and her brother, Ali, must make it to the market in time, ward off shady characters looking to prey on them and hang on to the money.
