If you loved El sabor de las cerezas, try ¿Dónde está la casa de mi amigo?
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Abbas Kiarostami, and they both carry the foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El sabor de las cerezas, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What ¿Dónde está la casa de mi amigo? 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.
