What is The Song of Sparrows about?

This deeply humanistic story opens in stunning pastoral Iran, where an unassuming and underprivileged ostrich farmer, Karim (Berlin winner Reza Naji), fights to support his family. In a string of bad luck, Karim’s daughter loses her expensive hearing aid and Karim suddenly loses his job when an ostrich comically escapes from the farm. Fortunately, his financial woes are short-lived when Karim stumbles upon an easy way to make money in bustling Tehran: he inadvertently gives a man a ride on the back of his motorbike in return for a fee which prompts him to continue his taxi service on a regular basis. Every day Karim rides into town to ferry passengers through the gridlocked streets before he brings back home all kinds of useless rummage - and soon finds himself entangled in a world of hustle, materialism and greed. When Karim’s relationships with family and friends come close to the breaking point, he must find a way to reconcile his new life with the old.
