.Bacheha-Ye aseman Iran 1997 | Majid Majidi | vostEN | 88’ | 35mm | Cast : Reza Naji, Amir Farrokh Hashemian, Bahare Seddiqi | EA ► Nominee Best Foreign Language Film, Oscars 1999

When young Ali accidentally loses the only pair of shoes his little sister Zahra owns, the siblings attempt to hide the bad news from their poverty-stricken father and ill mother. They devise a scheme to share Ali's own pair of worn sneakers until they can find a new pair of shoes for Zahra.
« This is a pellucid and gentle film, made with the simplicity and grace of a children's tale and yet its humour, emotional clarity and directness speak directly to adults and children alike - and the pre-teen principals shoulder an adult burden of performance. » (The Guardian)
« Children of Heaven is about a home without unhappiness. About a brother and sister who love one another, instead of fighting. About situations any child can identify with. It is very nearly a perfect movie for children, and of course that means adults will like it, too. » (Roger Ebert)
