Anything but a comedy, this movie's title is ironic. Its story is profoundly sad without being a tear-jerker. The actor Arman Darwish carries the film portraying a left-handed, sensitive and artistic boy in a milieu where military force and ridiculous macho bravado are admired. He manages to succeed in this world only to question it forcefully. Although it takes place in a Muslim country, and one might expect the drama to depict forceful men and submissive women, in fact the movie's women are as strong or stronger than the male characters, and most definitely have sophistication and agency. The movie makes a powerful statement and offers insight.
