I couldn’t avoid to place this here. Despite no subtitles, it is one of the best films I ever seen.
If someone knows the link for a subtitled or dubbed version, I would like you to consider writting back and tell about it. I will post all versions here!

” Plot Summary:
“Turtles Can Fly” is the third feature from internationally acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Bahman Ghobadi (“A Time For Drunken Horses”). Written, directed and produced by Ghobadi, the film features of cast of local non-actor children.
“Turtles Can Fly” is set in Ghobadi’s native Kurdistan on the eve of the American invasion of Iraq. Thirteen-year-old Soran (Soran Ebrahim) is known as “Satellite,” for his installation of dishes and antennae for local villages looking for news of Saddam. He is the dynamic leader of the children, organizing the dangerous but necessary sweeping and clearing of the minefields. He then arranges trade-ins for the unexploded mines. The industrious Satellite falls for an unlikely orphan (Avaz Latif), a sad-faced girl traveling with her brother Henkov (Hirsh Feyssal), who appears to have the gift of clairvoyance. The siblings are care-taking a three-year-old, whose connection to the pair is discovered as harsh truths are unveiled.
The devastation to this land and its inhabitants is revealed in the matter-of-fact perspective of the children and is equally displayed with every poignant detail of its unbearable nature. The exquisitely haunting mountains play backdrop to violence and tragedy, but at the same time the heart and humor of the children is an undeniable force.

Não consigo evitar este post! Mesmo sem legendas é o melhor filme que vi até hoje. Mesmo que com uma qualidade de imagem duvidosa.
Se alguém souber de algum link para uma versão legendada ou dobrada/doblada, por favor envie que eu postarei aqui todas as versões.

Passado no Curdistão, pátria do realizador Bahman Ghobadi, este filme de 2005 conta a história de um grupo de refugiados Curdos, num campo de refugiados entre a Turquia e o Irão, durante o Ultimato dos Açores, e a posterior ocupação do Iraque e queda e morte do ditador de regime, Saddam Hussein.

Soran apaixona-se pela irmã (Agrin) do rapaz (Henkov) que perdeu os braços ao pisar uma mina que parece agora conseguir prever o futuro.”
Filme que ganhou, entre outros, o Golfinho de Ouro em 2005, no Festival Internacional de Cinema de Tróia.
