Significant features in all three films

Offside: The plot was the most important aspect in this film in which the camera shots were on the girls who were caught dressing like boys. After the founding of the Islamic Republic in Iran , women are not allowed to enter stadiums. This shows how it's a case of sexism and a real-life issue that not a lot people know about.

The Wind Will Carry Us: The significance in this film is in it's plot as well. Kiarostami tells a story about life, death, and the meaning of existence.It takes an incredibly amount of time to piece together what the point of the journey is all about. The scenery also has some significance as said before, the camera captures the essence of the surroundings and the way people live in the village.

The Cow: This is the oldest film when comparing to the other two , and it shares the same significant feature (the plot) as well.It's simple and tells a sad but meaningful story. The plot was to show the effects of hiding truth from society and the with drawl of such actions. Mehrjui displays such implication to his film with not only the plot but the Iranian music , and the characters.
