The White Balloon (Persian: بادکنک سفيد‎ Badkonake Sefid) is a 1995 Iranian children's film and the directorial debut of Jafar Panahi, who won the 18th Caméra d'Or/best feature debut at Cannes for this film. It was written by Panahi's mentor Abbas Kiarostami.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The film is an uplifting story about a girl who wants to buy a pretty goldfish for the Iranian New Year, Nowruz. In the process, she has to go through difficulty after difficulty as everyone is simply too preoccupied for the festival's preparation.Other than Cannes, the film is Iran's entry for Best Foreign Language Film in the 68th Academy Awards and made international news not because it won the award (it didn't) but because the jury refused to follow the Iranian government's attempt to withdraw it.

Big Brother Instinct: Ali, who despite frequently calling Razieh troublesome contributes the most during their quest to get back her 500 toman bill. And the aforementioned bill is given to Razieh in the first place because Ali manages to convince their mother in lieu of buying him new shoes. Plus, when he fetches her after the bill is lost for the second time, there's no indication that their parents are responsible for tasking him, as he doesn't mention them; he could very well be genuinely worried that she doesn't return on time. The army man, as well, who offers Razieh help because she reminds him of his two younger sisters back home.

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Razieh can't walk for a minute without focusing on something that she has never seen or is forbidden to see. Her curiousness actually is what causes her to lose the 500 toman bill. Justified, as she's still a child.
