Children of Heaven
A Little Secret... Their Biggest Adventure!
Directed by Majid Majidi
A tender, intimate portrait of sibling devotion and childhood resilience in the face of poverty, where a simple problem becomes an adventure bound by love and ingenuity.
Zohre's shoes are gone; her older brother Ali lost them. They are poor, there are no shoes for Zohre until they come up with an idea: they will share one pair of shoes. School awaits.
