Children of Heaven (1997)
Director: Majid Majidi
Country: Iran
Storyline:
Ali takes his little sister Zahra's shoes to the shoemaker to be repaired but loses them on the way home. The siblings decide to keep this a secret from their parents out of fear of punishment and knowing that there is no money to buy a replacement. They devise a plan to share Ali's sneakers: Zahra will wear them in the morning and hand them to Ali at midday so he can attend afternoon classes. Ali then enters a high-profile children's racing competition in hopes of receiving the third-prize, a new pair of sneakers.
