拉曼是一个送牛奶的小男孩，住在伊朗的西北方，同时也在村里的教堂的唱诗班。他的妈妈在他出生时就过世了，使得他对地方教堂里的圣母玛莉亚像情有独钟，并因此和教堂里的老神父建立了深厚的友情。有一天，老神父发生意外，拉曼和失明的朋友大伍必需面对新的责任…… 伊朗片的演员包括成年、少年及儿童，大都是非职业演员，在片中扮演拉曼的男孩，今年十二岁，是导演在数十所中学当中，面试了数百位学生才挑选出来的。大多数伊朗电影都是走低调而悲凄的风格，但本片却一反伊朗片的常态，不墨守成规，反而独创风格，虽然是笃信伊斯兰教的国度，却阐扬天主教神父的博爱。本片虽以男孩与神父为中心，但其中的隐喻却颇发人深省，透过两人的互动，我们看见了世界与人生。本片获得伊朗儿童影展最佳影片/最佳剧本；开罗儿童影展最佳影片；东京影展/印度影展/美国影展/加拿大影展/法国影展/义大利影展等多国影展观摩片。..."The Son of Maryam" is the story about Rahman, a milk delivery boy in a small village in Iran and the village's mosque crier.
