This is a short film made by Víctor Erice as a letter to Abbas Kiarostami for the art exhibition "Correspondances" which is travelling around the world. Since this is the only text that appears in the film, besides the "Dear Kiarostami", I will translate, it is a poem by Omar Jayyam fromt he book "Robaiyyat": As children we assisted teacher's classes, then we were teachers, and this gave us joy, what became of us, the words tell us: we sprouted from the earth and the wind carried us.
