Anouar and the Moon

DIRECTOR / MICHIEL VAN JAARSVELD

At the home of Iranian Anouar (10) the curtains are closed day and night and mother lies in bed all day. To get the light back in the house and to give his little sister comfort, he decides to catch the moon for her.

Anouar and the Moon was developed and produced in collaboration with NTR as part of ‘Nu of Nooit,’ funded by Z@pp and the Mediafonds.
