Was sie teilen

What Wo ist das Haus meines Freundes? is
Bicycle Thief if set in rural Iran. A schoolboy realizes he's accidentally pocketed his classmate's notebook, and if it isn't returned promptly, his friend will be expelled. The film's simple quest becomes a tense, tender, neorealist journey.
