There are 84 minutes of the old year left as seven-year-old Mohammadkhani steps out with her brother into the teeming streets of Tehran. With her mother's last remaining coins, her mission is to buy a pretty goldfish that has taken her fancy. But when the children are separated, she's left alone in the bustling humanity for the very first time.
