A TIME FOR DRUNKEN HORSES
Bahman Ghobadi (2000)
Ayoub is a young boy in a Kurdish village near the Iraqi border. He works at the bazaar along with his little sister. When his father dies, he has to take care of his three sisters and sick brother, Madi, who needs surgery, or he won’t live longer than seven to eight months. Ayoub tries to smuggle contraband into Iraq by mule in an attempt to raise money for Madi’s operation, but he doesn’t get paid. He gets a second chance to smuggle goods using a mule his uncle lends him, who has a broken arm. Ayoub’s sister Rojin marries a suitor living in a village on the border of Iraq on the condition that he smuggle Madi into Iraq for his operation. But Ayoub is against it.
