Director Abbas has made nearly 16 films of different lengths before this, and it was not until the launch of "Where Is My Friend's Home" that he made his debut in the international film industry. The story is not shocking, but it is unforgettable. For the first time, the world of children was presented so conspicuously to adults, and the Iranian children's film began. The innocence of children filters the hearts of every viewer. This is not a coincidence. Under Iran's strict film censorship system and religious control, politics and women are sensitive topics. Many directors have turned to the field of children's films, which is less prone to "violating the regulations". It can be said that this is the crystallization of Abbas's "dancing in shackles" and exploring the world of children for many years. The non-professional actor, the unsophisticated documentary style, the successful presentation, heralded the beginning of Abbas's personal film style.

Restrained and delicate expression, the whole picture is quiet and fresh, but always makes people feel depressed emotions. The adults turn a deaf ear to what the children say, and they just talk at length about the old blacksmith's dissatisfaction with the disappearance of old things. "They always say that the iron door can be used. I don’t know how long it will last.” A child just wanted to return the workbook at the same table and encountered countless obstacles along the way. The little flower in the workbook at the end was really shocking
