Sun Children
Directed by Majid Majidi
Produced by Majid Majidi Film Production
A humanistic drama about street children navigating poverty and survival, anchored by their bonds with each other and a redemptive institution that offers them dignity and possibility.
The story of 12-year-old Ali and his three friends. Together they work hard to survive and support their families, doing small jobs in a garage and committing petty crimes to make fast money. In a turn of events that seems miraculous, Ali is entrusted to find hidden treasure underground. He recruits his gang, but first, to gain access to the tunnel, the children must enroll at the Sun School, a charitable institution that tries to educate street kids and child laborers, close to where the treasure is located.
