The rare Kanoon film that doesn't involve children, this unusual road movie was made during the Revolution and afforded Kiarostami what may have been a welcome escape from the capital. Shot amid spectacular mountain scenery north of Tehran, it revolves around a young man on the roadside carrying a tire, trying to get a ride. After several minutes of failure, he simply takes the tire and rolls it down the mountain. This lyrical visual journey is accompanied by a triumphal score.
