Released from prison and terminally ill, Parvis Karimpour is determined to be reunited with his daughter, Nasrin, who fled Iran for Europe many years before. Crossing the Mediterranean only to be unceremoniously dumped on the Spanish coast, Karimpour makes for Madrid in search of his erstwhile only child. Along the way he meets failed Italian pianist Fabrizio and spoilt German dreamer Almut – fellow migrants struggling to make their way in a Europe beset by economic turmoil. The search for Nasrin lends Karimpour’s new friends a sense of purpose, and the unlikely threesome take up her trail.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

What one terminally-ill man would do to see his daughter again for possibly the last time will leave you in awe as he goes through different challenging stages in search of her, stretching out his last remaining days. As the story unfolds, Pravis Karimpour, the protagonist, will have you bracing in your seats as you wonder how things will play out for him given these challenges: 1) he is an "illegal" alien; 2) he is hungry and unemployed; and 3) he is awaiting his impending demise. He meets and befriends two strangers going through their own struggles and they become unlikely friends who aid him in his quest to search for his long-lost daughter. Si-o-Se Pol is a nice and engaging film that develops at a slow pace, but it is not dreary. The film teaches you that in the face of what would be a brush of desperation, it is best to look past the differences of others and work towards a goal together. It shows a perspective of humanity from a different angle. The beautiful cinematography, some few heart-wrenching scenes, overall story development and enthralling performance of the actors is what makes Si-o-Se Pol a world-class drama film that is definitely worth watching.

This film was beautiful. It's extremely heartfelt, and even though I was reading subtitles, I was fully immersed in the story as well. It was beautiful and heartbreaking to see a man who wanted nothing more than to reconnect with his daughter before he passes away. When he meets a young woman, he enlists her in his endeavor and they create a bond that is just so sweet. I truly enjoyed this movie and thought that it was well written, well acted, and all around wonderful.

"Si-o-se Pol" or "Die letzten Tage des Parvis K." is even if the original title does not suggest it a German movie from 2013, so this one will have its 5th anniversary next year already. It includes a lot of languages because of the characters' origins and the countries where the film is set, so chances are high you may want a good set of subtitles unless you are a truly multilingual talent. It is the most recent work and fourth full feature film written and directed by Henrik Peschel and he takes on a subject that is today probably even more prominent in media and society than it was back in 2013, namely the fate of refugees and immigrants. The central character of it all is Parvis and the German title already gives away that things are not going too well for him health-wise, so this is not a film where the audiences wonders if he will live or die and can cheer for him making it, but his fate is somewhat sealed right from the start. Instead the focus is on the way he spends his last days and these are all about finding his daughter and reconnecting with her. And it is at least as much about two characters he meets on the way, an Italian cleaner with musical talent and a German woman who left her home to move abroad with her boyfriend and who follows her own dream. The latter is played by Pheline Roggan and she is the only cast member I know in here (probably because she is also the only German in here and these are the ones I usually know) and also the main reason why this film lists German as its central language here on IMDb.I think this relatively short movie (slightly over 80 minutes and this already includes credits) is a fairly solid road movie that feels real and authentic for the most part. The actors did a fine job and I never had the impression that I was watching performance. Instead they feel like real people. This is not a film that gives any of the actors loud and baity material to work with and really carry the film with the material, but it's more of a quiet subtle character story for everybody involved and from that perspective it is working. The goal is not him finding his daughter (at least not for the audience). The goal is the journey there. I think the film started off a bit rocky and for example I struggled a bit with the way the protagonist met these two other characters and it did not really seem they were getting as close as they did, but the longer the film went the more it all made sense and he really formed a union with these. The dialogues are simple, but real and the film also delivers in terms of the visual side at the very end when it comes to the mountainside and the meaning that is attached to it for the two make central characters. I must say I enjoyed the watch for the most part and even if something is missing for me to say it is one of my favorite films from 2013, I'd give it a thumbs-up and recommend checking it out. Looking at the number of ratings here on IMDb, it is also certainly a truly overlooked and underseen movie. If you get a chance to change that, i.e. get a hand on a copy, don't miss out. You won't regret it.
