"The Key"
1986
Directed by Ebrahim Forouzesh

Humor, pathos and suspense fill this story of a four-year-old and an infant left home alone while their mother runs out to do some shopping. Young Amir Mohammad has his own ideas about what he wants to do--and watching his baby brother and the meal cooking in the kitchen are not among them. Minor crisis piles on crisis, culminating in the threat of disaster when the cooking pot boils over, dousing the flame on the gas range. As frantic neighbors yell advice to the resourceful youngster, tension mounts. Winner of the award for Best Children's Film at the Berlin Film Festival. Screenplay by Abbas Kiarostami. Farsi with English subtitles. 76 minutes.
