The Key

Mother has gone shopping, and four-year-old Amir-Mohammad’s having problems looking after his one-year-old brother while keeping an eye on the food cooking in the kitchen. The smell of burnt food and the baby’s cries attract a neighbour, who comes along to find out what is going on. She cannot get into the house as the door is locked and Amir-Mohammad cannot find the spare key. The neighbour rushes to the nearby shops to look for the children’s mother, but comes across their grandmother on her way back to the house. From behind the closed door the two women try to guide Amir-Mohammad to find the key in order to prevent any mishap occurring before his mother’s arrival.
