Tehran theaters to screen Kiarostami’s early movies “Traveler”, “Wedding Suit”

TEHRAN -- Abbas Kiarostami’s early movies “The Traveler” and “A Wedding Suit” will be screened in Tehran on November 20.

The films will be shown at the Art and Experience Cinemas, the movie theaters which are dedicated to screening art films and other movies aimed typically at a limited audience.

“The Traveler” directed in 1974 is about a grade-school-age boy, neglected by his parents, who lies, cheats and steals to get enough money to afford a bus ride to a large city and purchase a ticket to see his favorite soccer team play.

“A Wedding Suit” (1976) tells the story of a woman, who orders a suit from a tailor for her young son to wear to her sister’s wedding.

The tailor’s apprentice, together with two other teenage boys who work in the same building, devise a plan to try on the suit at night to see what it feels like. Things get a little complicated but in the morning, at the last possible minute, they manage to return the suit to its proper place.
