In this simple family drama from Iran, two children invent an intricate plan to conceal the loss of a pair of shoes. Ali (Amir Farrokh Hashemian) and his sister Zhara (Bahare Seddiqi) are living in a poor neighborhood. Their mother is suffering from illness and their father is overworked and underpaid. When Ali is sent out to pick up his sister's shoes, a blind street peddler accidentally swipes them. Afraid that he will get a beating if his parents find out, he and Zhara concoct a plan by which she will wear Ali's sneakers to school in the morning and he will wear them to school in the afternoon. But the plan has its flaws because Ali is late to school everyday and his principal threatens to expel him. In a final act of determination, Ali enters a race to win the third place prize, a new pair of sneakers. Majidi's acclaimed film is an example of a current trend in Iranian cinema where children are used as central characters in order to circumvent censorship issues. His later film THE COLOR OF PARADISE about a little blind boy received similar international critical attention. CHILDREN OF HEAVEN received an Academy Award Nomination in 1998 for Best Foreign Film.

If you are just thinking of buying this movie because it's such a bargain and you have heard good things about it, it's GREAT!!!!!! Also it's Iranian. Also it's G-rated.

one of my favorite films
We saw Children of Heaven at a film festival before its international release. a few years ago. It received a standing ovation! Heartwarming, sweet and uplifting,.. we all had smiles on our faces as we left the theatre! Wonderfully sweet and humorous story line as well as a look into the day to day life of an average mid=east village family from a childs perspective .
