When two boys steal the family cassette player Parisa has snuck out of her house, they also get her most prized possession — a tape with her dead father’s voice on it. Determined to get it back, the young girl enlists a friend to help track the boys down. Meanwhile, the cassette player itself goes on a rather incredible journey. In this meditation on the way in which little things can take on huge importance, writer/director Ali Zamani Esmati coaxes quietly touching performances from an extremely young cast.
