Reality and representation - a theme meditated in so many of Kiarostami's movies - there is a tragic gap between the two, and it cannot be passed - a theme recurring throughout the modern art. And Sara Siadat nejad comes here with a wonderful replica - the representation created by an artist becomes reality - a reality of her own - inciting us to accept it, to make it also our reality - and to rejoice.
