Description
Summary:	This film tells the story of Mohammad, who after a year in Tehran learning to read Braille, returns to his village with his widowed father. His Father fears that a blind son will prevent him from marrying again, so he puts Mohammad into an apprenticeship program as a carpenter. The Color of Paradise is a painfully beautiful film about a blind boy's ability to see more than others who are bound by tradition and religion. Filmed with mainly amateur actors, this is an award winning and critically acclaimed film.
