In the Alleys of Love (1991)

We follow a young man reflecting on his life in this thought-provoking tale of childhood. Forced to flee the devastated village of Abadan with his family at the beginning of the war, the young man returns years later. As he surveys the ruins of his former homestead, he remembers how his family adapted to a new life, his boyhood escapades, and his first love. An elegant account of how war affects the lives of children, this drama is a must see.
