The Color of Paradise Movie Review 1999

Mohammad is an eight-year-old blind boy who is regarded as a burden by his recently widowed and hardworking father. His father hopes to remarry but thinks his son will be an obstacle and sends him to live with a carpenter, who is also blind, so that the boy can learn a trade. Of course, it is the father who must truly learn to see, since Mohammad already appreciates everything surrounding him. Farsi with subtitles.
