Family Friendly Matinee Movie: “Window Horses . . .”

This month’s movie matinee is Window Horses: The Poetic Persian Epiphany of Rosie Ming. Rosie Ming, a young Canadian poet, is invited to perform at a poetry festival in Shiraz, Iran, but she’d rather go to Paris. She lives at home with her over-protective Chinese grandparents and has never been anywhere by herself. Once in Iran, she finds herself in the company of poets and Persians who tell her stories that force her to confront her past: the Iranian father she assumed abandoned her and the nature of poetry itself.

Runtime: 1 hour 29 minutes. Animated. Rated G.
