In London, Mohsen Makhmalbaf's Tenant tells the misadventures of an Iranian boy trying not to lose his bed-sit.

ICAC: Two Stories "Water" (1978)
Two Stories “Water” kicked off with the Cantonese tune of Raindrops Beating on the Banana Leaves, a symbolic hint on the tragic outcome of the drama – a demonstration of Joyce's astute use of music. When a kind, gullible mother-in-law and her rude, strong-willed daughter-in-law separately encounter the same con-artist, the result is high drama.
