Released in 2019 and directed by Majid Majidi and written by Majid Majidi Mehran Kashani, the film tells the story of Emile, a drug dealer who escapes from the police and hides in his sister Tara's laundry, where her boss saves her brother, but the boss threatens to invade her sister Tara

Tara was sentenced to prison for accidentally injuring the boss, the boss was seriously injured in the hospital, if he died, Tara would be sentenced to life imprisonment for manslaughter, Emir had to take care of the "enemy" in the hospital in order to save his sister.

Knowing that her son's hospitalized mother brought her two granddaughters to the hospital to visit, there was no home for the night, Emile had to take care of the three grandchildren, their lives were cloudy, but they also felt the warmth of their families, facing the adversity of life, shining above the clouds with the light of humanity.

"Above the Clouds" proves that director Majid Majidi is worthy of the world's master director, he reveals the ruthlessness and ruthlessness of real society, but also hides the warmth and harmony in the relationship of mutual dependence

Let your film work be full of poetry and beauty, so that the audience gets an unexpected shock. The 1998 Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film, Little Shoes, gave the world an understanding of the delicacy and humanistic charm of Majid Majidi's films; "Above the Clouds" set its sights on India's low-class families

Continuing the theme of the heavy family affection and reality of his former masterpiece "Little Shoes". "Above the Clouds" unfolds the story from the perspective of Tara and Emile, the sister Tara who was wrongfully imprisoned for stabbing and trying to infringe on her laundry owner, and the younger brother Emile originally made a living by helping drug trafficking

In order to prove her sister's innocence, she had to take care of the "enemy" in the hospital, hoping that the latter would wake up and restore the truth to save her sister. In prison, the sister met an orphan who was only 5 years old, and cared for the little boy who grew up in prison like she took care of her younger brother. At the same time, the family of the "culprit" who let her sister go to prison came to the hospital

The younger brother, Emile, ushered in the moment of growth, running for his sister while taking care of the murderer's two children and mother. The life of the two brothers and sisters is cloudy and they can't see the day, but when they are in prison, they both extend their warm hands to others, even if they sell the little girl in exchange for bail for their sister's money

The younger brother Emile still dispelled the evil thoughts at the critical moment. Did the laundry owner prove his sister's innocence? Can my sister really get out of prison as she wishes? Surprised and then deeply regretted the abrupt ending, I didn't believe the film was indeed over until the end

The expected quick release from prison is not, the end of the film does not clearly tell you the answer, director Majid Majidi always has the ability to go from the surface of society to the depths of human nature, but there is no sense of delusion, reunion, fragmentation, and expected rigidity. I was impressed by the plot treatment of pigeons in the play

Like "Little Shoes" about the gains and losses of shoes, it is the finishing touch of the movie. Several emotional key points of the male protagonist's brother are shown through interaction with the pigeons, continuing Majid Majidi's consistent high quality standards.

Under the warm sun, the white doves flying in the sky convey the theme of the movie: every "child" hopes to be treated gently by the world, and everyone who lives in distress wants to struggle to get rid of everything and embrace the moment of happiness with all his heart.

That kind of happiness may be within our reach, but to the characters in the movie, they are like pigeons, and they can only hope for it. Art and cinema are like prophets, bringing inspiration to our world, and the influence of cinema is very large.

A good movie can grip people's heartstrings and lead the audience's thinking, "Above the Clouds" has shooting skills, but also can not help but directly hit the spirit and soul of the discussion, in the sad mood to inject humor and warmth, in the simple narration full of reality and mix.

Above the Clouds is a movie that is truly worth seeing. It has the good qualities of those good movies, the stories that flow out calmly and quietly, and the fragrance of precipitation.

Majid Majidi's films are always delicate, showing us the deep warmth and kindness between people. Life is warm, and the happiness she gives us comes from our devout attitude towards life. Reality may be harsh and impersonal, but it is true that this is the growth we have truly experienced!
