Bashu, the Little Stranger

باشو غریبهٔ کوچک

Ten-year-old Bashu is orphaned when his Persian Gulf village is bombed. Hiding in the back of a truck, he is taken north around the Caspian Sea, where he jumps off. The people in this alien land take a dislike to the little stranger and deride his skin and accent. Nai, a woman whose husband is away, finds the boy and accepts him as her own son.
