Numb
Watch TrailerThis time the action is restricted to a kindergarten, a world seemingly far removed from real life in Iran. Pre-school is the first and last time boys and girls can learn together freely before entering the strictly segregated education system. Much like the dog in Toodehroosta’s well received first feature Paat (2013), six-year-old Roham plays the often silent witness to the actions unfurling around him. As his curiosity grows, the complicated real lives of the other pupils start to unravel.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director constructs the narrative by relying on an almost documentary-like observation, using the kindergarten as a potent metaphor for a final shared space. The film explores how social norms and adult complexities seep into this seemingly insulated world through the naive yet perceptive gaze of a child.
What lingers after viewing is a poignant sense of fragile innocence confronting inevitable structures. The quiet power of suggestion proves more resonant than explicit drama. — MovieFinder Editorial
