Our take

Some days the world could do with being just that little bit brighter. Let Abbas Kiarostami’s rainbow-tinted early short inject a little magic into your day. Made to introduce Iranian children to where colour comes from, this transformative gem, recently restored, shimmers with child-like wonder.
