Following the fall of Saddam Hussein, celebrated Kurdish-Iranian musician Mamo is invited to perform in Iraq for the first time in 37 years. He teams up with old friend Kako, borrows a school bus and heads for the border, picking up his 10 musician sons and a female singer en route; but the group's journey to Iraq is not destined to be an easy one. The latest film from talented Kurdish-Iranian director Bahman Ghobadi of A Time for Drunken Horses and Turtles Can Fly, Half Moon is an engaging and unusual road movie whose exploration of social issues is lightened by its engaging central character and a warm dose of sometimes dark humour. |
