Si-o-se Pol (2013)
Touching, understated and relevant
At a time when the issue of migration is the political hot topic of the day, this wonderful little film examines the issue from the point of view of Parvis, a middle-aged Iranian ma who has smuggled himself into Spain across the sea. Mortally ill, Parvis is searching for his estranged daughter to make peace with her before he dies.
Arriving in Madrid - a city in the grip of a deep recession - he is alone and lost. But he makes friends with Fabrizio, a failed musician and Almut, a poor little rich girl. Together they go in search of Parvis' daughter.
A quiet, thoughtful and humane take on an issue which frequently creates more heat than light, this moving and beautifully acted film was deservedly awarded Best Feature at Cardiff Independent Film Festival 2015
