The
Mirror (Ayneh)
Director: Jafar Panahi
 Synopsis: The
film It's the end of the day at school. The children are all
going home except for Mina who is waiting in vain for her mother
to come. The little girl decides to go home alone. A long voyage
begins. In fact she only knows the way when her mother is
leading her. Which bus should she take? Where does she get off?
It's all very mysterious for Mina and grown-ups are not always
very helpful. In the bus, she listens to adults' conversations.
They seem unfamiliar. Itinerant musicians play a traditional
tune. A scream brings the story to a halt: Mina doesn't want to
be part of the film anymore... She gets off the bus, leaves the
film crew and decides to go home alone, forgetting that she's
still wearing the microphone. The film-maker decides to follow
her without her knowing. The "story" starts up
again...
