Synopsis
According to Kiarostami, "Homework" is not a film, but rather a filmed inquiry motivated by the Iranian educational problems his own children brought home every night from school. Young scholars are questioned by the director himself: their backs to the wall, framed in close-up, the kids face Kiarostami's camera and talk about the excessive amounts of homework, the allure of TV cartoons, and the punishment that results from temptation.
