Film from Iran: The song of the Sparrows

Film from Iran: The song of the Sparrows.  If you did not get a chance to see this film at the Gene Siskel theaters, I would highly recommend seeing this film when it comes out on DVD.   The main character, Karim, works on an Ostrich farm in the countryside, but finds himself seeking work in Tehran.  Of course one is aware of a cultural shock going from one country to another, but I found it fascinating with the cultural shock Karim experienced by traveling within his own country.  The overall human aspect of this film is thoughtfully portrayed as Karim, a husband and father, searches to find  a way to feed and care for his family.   The artistic placement of scenes added to the depth of the poetic content of this film.   I was surprised how much I learned from this film, especially about Ostriches ~.~  I was not sure what to expect when I ventured to see this film, but I clearly see why it has won so many awards.
