Synopsis

Released from prison and terminally ill, Parvis Karimpour is determined to be reunited with his daughter, Nasrin, who fled Iran for Europe many years before. Crossing the Mediterranean only to be unceremoniously dumped on the Spanish coast, Karimpour makes for Madrid in search of his erstwhile only child. Along the way he meets failed Italian pianist Fabrizio and spoilt German dreamer Almut – fellow migrants struggling to make their way in a Europe beset by economic turmoil. The search for Nasrin lends Karimpour’s new friends a sense of purpose, and the unlikely threesome take up her trail.

dongkyldk I really enjoyed this movie. This is a sad story but we can see the light that Parvis gives Fabrizio and Almut. Sometime when we get lost, the most thing we need is hope. This movie is really sad at ending. But There is hope, and the way to guide the lost soul like Fabrizio and Almut. I love it, Thank you for making this movie
anne flamingo I just happened to read about this film when it was shown in Frankfurt – so I went to see it with a friend and we really enjoyed it. To me it almost appeared like a road movie with a most up-to –date plot about the difficult situation refugees and some other lost souls face every day (I would call Fabrizio and Almut 'lost souls'). The slow pace of the film and especially the great camera work let me just drift off into the scenes. The three main characters couldn't be more different and yet this film shows in very smart way how friendships can grow in a difficult situation. The positive spirit of Parivs is contagious not only for the other characters, but I think also for the audience - maybe we should all pick a bit of that spirit. I liked all three main characters, but especially Parvis – Ramin Yazdani did a great job ! (Ramin did you keep that jogging suit ;-) ?)
De Kratzie This film is very enchanting and stuns you with beautiful pictures and a very interesting unpredictable plot. Although it is low budget it does not have the look and feel of this film category as it is very professionally made. It could be described as a sort of road movie with the main aim to detect the abysses of the minds of the main characters and how they interact with one another. The actors are very well chosen and take you on a tour of the variety of characters that people may have. If you have the possibility to see the film with a Q+A session of the director and some actors, take the chance by all means. The director Henna Peschel is a character for himself who is burning for his job and brings tears to your eyes with his sense of humor when describing the unconventional procedure of low budget film making. I hope to see more of his art in the near future.
MartinHafer When I saw the title of this film, "Si-o-se Pol", I had absolutely no idea what that meant and in the course of the film you learn that this is an old an apparently very picturesque bridge in Iran. It really has little to do with the film's plot--just a memory of one of the characters about a lovely place he remembers from his youth.The film begins in North Africa. A small group of people are being smuggled into Spain. One of them, Parvis, is looking for his daughter. Apparently, they haven't seen each other for over a decade and he's left Iran to look for her. This search is imperative, as Parvis is dying and wants to make peace with her before his death--what's transpired between them is something you'll need to find out through the course of the movie. Once he's made it to Madrid, the last town that he knows she was in, he begins searching for her. But it's a big town and the clues he has are scant. He's also hungry and out of work, so his search seems hopeless. Along the way, this very decent man meets a couple people and they become his friends--and they agree to help him in his search.This is a very nice, gentle sort of a film. It's slow paced, but it doesn't drag--mostly because the characters are quite likable. The actors, writer and director can be credited for this. Additionally, there is an interesting contrast between Parvis and his incredible journey and his two friends whose own troubles and conflicts seem rather simple by comparison. Well worth seeing even if it doesn't have a formulaic ending that some might expect and demand. I like it because it was a nice look into three very disparate personalities--three who manage to trust and care about each other through the course of this engaging film. Well worth seeing.
