Mansour, an 11-year-old boy, witnesses the murder of his father by a stray bullet during a shootout between drug dealers and police. With his mother's dream of opening a café on their small island, Mansour takes on the responsibility of supporting her by becoming a tourist guide and getting involved in the dangerous drug trade.

Mansour's naivety and his good intentions to save money for his mother's café are heart-wrenching. When he finally saves enough, his childhood impulses lead him to spend the money on something else.

Looteyo is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of life, but it also highlights the power of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. Ashkan Nematian's debut feature is a must-see for anyone interested in Iranian cinema and its unique social and cultural landscape.
