Movie: The Traveler

 

The Traveler  is a 1974 Iranian film that depicts Qassem, a troubled but resourceful boy, and his quest to attend a football match at any cost, and his indifference to the effects of his actions on other people, even those closest to him.

The penniless Qassem pilfers 5 tomans that his mother has hidden, but the next day she discovers the theft and promptly reports it to the school principal, who not only berates her for raising a “monster” but canes Qassem’s hands for refusing to admit guilt.

Picture and video credits: The Criterion Collection.
