Through these episodes, the film explores how childhood experiences shape young minds, offering a powerful look into the pain, resilience, and often misunderstood actions of children.

4. A group of children embarks on a dangerous journey to America with a plan to assassinate Trump, whom they blame for the suffering in their homeland.
5. A young girl, consumed by years of family trauma, seeks revenge against her grandmother, whom she holds responsible for her suffering.
6. A lonely girl confides in an imaginary friend as she struggles to cope with the constant fighting of her parents and lack of love in her home.
7. A girl, infatuated with her teacher, becomes determined to win his love, showing the emotional confusion and longing for affection.

Through the metaphor of the rainbow, each episode is represented by a different color, symbolizing the spectrum of emotions and experiences that shape the lives of these children. Rainbow’s Tale is a heartfelt dedication to Kian Pirfalak, a young boy whose tragic death during the “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement in Iran inspired this film. In his memory, the stories aim to uncover the hidden narratives of children living in the shadows of violence and trauma.
