The White Balloon(1995)

A charming comedy about a little girl who sets out to buy a goldfish on New Year's Eve. After dodging several obstacles to get to the shop, Razieh (Mohammadkhani) discovers her money is gone. The little girl and her brother retrace her steps and spot the money, just as it drifts down into a sewer drain. Shameless and selfish, but endearing, Razieh makes numerous attempts to enlist the help of passersby in a desperate plea to get her money back.
