Breaktime

Disciplined at school for breaking a window, a boy joins a throng of his schoolmates as they make a cacophonous exit onto Tehran's streets. He then briefly joins an impromptu soccer game but disrupts it by stealing the ball and running away, and ends up drifting aimlessly along a busy highway. Free of dialogue but using unsynchronized sound throughout, this moody film shows Kiarostami expanding his visual vocabulary with zooms and crane and helicopter shots.
