| 520 | |a After administering rigorous examinations in science, religion and politics, the Iranian government assigns a handful of men from the nation's unemployed millions to the undignified job of street-cleaning. The crew is made up of ambitious young dreamers, including a pilot who stares into the sky and a musician who conducts over an orchestra of trash. One, a childlike poet, assembles scraps of a beautiful widow's unsent letters and reads of her lonely hopelessness. To comfort her, he anonymously mails her the original discarded poems of a renowned poet, accompanied by anonymous love letters in his own hand. As the two trade words--his in blank envelopes, hers in the trash--his care for this sorrowful woman grows into quiet love. But how could she ever fall for a destitute trashman? A tender, beautiful film, Poet of the Wastes is an eloquent prayer to the uplifting power of literature and simple acts of love. Awards: Won 2006 African, Asian and Latin American Film Festival "City of Milan" Prize, Won 2006 Reel World International Film Festival Outstanding International Feature award, Won 2006 Molodist International Film Festival Ecumenical Award, Won 2006 Didar Film Festival Best Film. | ||
