Bahman Ghobadi follows his acclaimed film A TIME FOR DRUNKEN HORSES with a superbly cinematic, multi-award winning feature that celebrates the extraordinary survival of the human spirit. Children in a Kurdish refugee camp defuse landmines and survive on the meagre income from scrap metal sales. Their leader is an enterprising 13-year-old boy, Satellite (Soran Ebrahim), who trades to get what others need. Set in a village on the border between Iran and Turkey, before the arrival of American troops, TURTLES CAN FLY is a masterpiece of profound tragedy, intense joy and breathtaking cinematography. The performances of the children are truly extraordinary.
