Movie description:
»Red Robin« takes place against the backdrop of a beautiful hillside area. While a group of adults watch a bullfight, some local children play games, chasing young Aliyar through the fields with a scarecrow. But when Aliyar tries to get his own back on his best friend, Gholam Hossein, tragedy occurs, and Aliyar fears that he has been the cause of Gholam Hossein’s death. A Muslim, Aliyar has noticed that members of the Christian church nearby believe in resurrection; moreover, the priest has recently acquired a new cross for his church, hoping this will make it the most beautiful in the area. So Aliyar resolves to search for someone who has the breath of Christ in order to resurrect his friend.
Director-writer Sheikhtadi’s mystical tale about faith and the interconnectedness of all people is told with a gentle power that recalls Majid Majidi’s »Color of Paradise« and »Children of Heaven«.
Islamic and Christian traditions merge mysteriously in an allegorical tale of death and resurrection. A young boy’s thoughtless prank results in his schoolmate tumbling to his death in a mountain ravine. Too frightened to tell, the boy conceals the body and searches for someone with the fabled »Breath of Christ« to revive his friend. In a village where the Muslim cleric and the priest weep together for Jesus and Hossein, there is still a divide that will only be bridged by a sacrifice.
