This wonderful story told in an innocent Iranian production, became a worldwide success with nominations and awards all over the world. It is easy to recognize that big budgets are not needed when an idea is so wonderfully powerful.
This film should be seen by children and adults alike, it is powerfully emotional and inspiring. Your spirit will be touched by very good vibes.
This is a commentary I found out there:
Triumphant prizewinner at many prestigious film festivals, this uplifting, crowd-pleasing story of family and love was also nominated for an Academy Award(R) as Best Foreign Language Film. When Ali loses his sister Zahra’s school shoes, this young pair dream up a plan to stay out of trouble: they’ll share his shoes and keep it a secret from their parents! But if they’re going to sucessfully cover their tracks, Ali and Zahra must carefully watch their step on what rapidly turns into a funny and heartwarming adventure! A magical motion picture acclaimed by critics and audiences alike, CHILDREN OF HEAVEN is a charming treat you’ll love too.
