Ako is a poignant Iranian drama following Ako (آکو), a young Kurdish teenager who travels to the bustling Tehran bazaar seeking work as a porter. Tasked with carrying goods through the maze of the market, he finds himself tempted into a moment of theft — a decision that sets off a chain of unforeseen accidents and life-altering consequences.
The film offers an intimate portrait of vulnerability, poverty, and moral choice against the vivid backdrop of Tehran's historic bazaar. With a quietly powerful performance at its core, Ako captures the precarious world of marginalized youth navigating a city that offers little mercy.
