Turtles Can Fly (Persian: لاک پشت ها هم پرواز می کنند Lakposhtha hâm parvaz mikonand, Kurdish: Kûsî Jî Dikarin Bifirin) is a 2004 film written and directed by the Kurdish Iranian filmmaker Bahman Ghobadi, with notable theme music composed by Hossein Alizadeh. It was the first film to be made in Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein.


Plot
The film is set in a Kurdish refugee camp on the Iraqi-Turkish border on the eve of the US invasion of Iraq. Thirteen-year-old Satellite (Soran Ebrahim) is known for his installation of dishes and antennae for local villages who are looking for news of Saddam Hussein and for his limited knowledge of English. He is the dynamic, but manipulative leader of the children, organizing the dangerous but necessary sweeping and clearing of the minefields.

The industrious Satellite arranges trade-ins for unexploded mines. He falls for an orphan named Agrin (Avaz Latif), a sad-faced girl traveling with her disabled, but smart brother Hengov, who appears to have the gift of clairvoyance, making people think he can predict the future. The siblings care for a blind toddler named Riga, who is the son of Agrin after being gang raped by Iraqi Arab soldiers also what the soldiers did is kill the girls and the boys family and also shot the arms of the boy and tried to drown them both in their previous village. Both children had to go through tragic moments and wish that they could forget about it but they cant. The boy "Satellite" likes the girl and try to say it to the girl but she is too scared because she already got raped and brought her his child.
