Director: Jafar Panahi

Country: Iran

Storyline:

Razieh wants a fat goldfish for Iranian New Year instead of the skinny ones in her family's pond, because the fat ones look like they are dancing when they swim. After many attempts, she and her brother convince their mother to give them her last bit of money, as the family live very humbly. The excited Razieh loses the money on her way to the fish store. When she finds it, it is temptingly just out of her reach.
