Looteyo
Eleven-year-old Mansour lives on an island in the Persian Gulf. Six months after his father was murdered, his now single mother is still struggling to solve the case and to get financial support. She wants to open a café on the island to support herself and her children. Mansour secretly tries to raise money for his mother by driving tourists around and offering all kinds of dubious services. Told in many long camera shots and expressive images, this story of a personal fate is representative of many others in this region. (Ines Ingerle)
