Half Moon

£17.99

A spirited tale of one man's attempt to realise a musical dream becomes a classic road movie in the hands of Iranian director Bahman Ghobadi.

Mamo is an ageing musician living in Iran who, after 35 years of waiting, is given permission to perform a concert in Iraqi Kurdistan. Hiring an old bus, rounding up his 10 musician sons and coming up with a plan to smuggle a forbidden female singer across the border, Mamo sets off on what promises to a bumpy ride that's full of rugged realism with sudden flights of fancy. Ghobadi's wonderful film proves that however hard the journey, the show must go on!
