Where Is The Friend's House?

In the village of Koker, Iran, a schoolteacher warns that one more missing homework notebook will get a boy expelled. Ahmed Ahmadpour (Mohamed Reza Nematzadeh) carries his classmate's notebook home by mistake, and he sets out for the neighboring village to return it, with no address and nobody willing to give him a straight answer. Abbas Kiarostami follows a small child doing a very serious thing in a world of adults too busy to listen.
