Muhammad: The Messenger of God

In the sixth century, Abu Talib (Mehdi Pakdel) hears Abu Sufyan (Dariush Farhang) say he means to kill his nephew by morning, and he starts remembering the year before the boy was born. That was the year Abraha marched on Mecca, and an army met a sky full of small birds. Majid Majidi follows the child through Halimah (Sareh Bayat)'s care and his mother Aminah (Mina Sadati), his face never shown, with a boycott closing in on him and his people.
