    A visually stunning film with fascinating colour schemes, whose poetry dwarfs the meandering plot line. like flowers bursting forth in a dry place are the wonderfully woven carpets (gabbeh) and colourfully garbed womenfolk. Explained through the rainbow of colours are life’s constants: love and longing, marriage life and death, A very special film that deserves the widest circulation. 4.5
