Is this going to break my heart? Or will it make me go get my pitchfork?

I will say this - it made me cry. And very few films have been able to get that kind of reaction from me. I say give it a go.

I think the only middle eastern film i've ever seen is an iranian film called the White Balloon. it's a charming story about a little girl who wants to buy a fancy goldfish, and loses the money her mother gives her to buy it with. Various people help her to get it back.
