Bacheha-Ye aseman
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_Heaven
Starts with a simple scene of a small kid (Ali)repairing a pair of girl shoes for his sister(Zahra), I could say that director tried to walk only with those shoes for the whole 2hrs of movie!!!No wonder it must have won lot many applauds just because of its simplicity:).
I would say I liked the way the thoughts of kids are presented.Like - Ali denying to play match just because his mother is not feeling well,and at somepoint of time saying to Zahra "I am not afraid of getting beaten up by dad, but dad does not money to buy new shoes" and many simple and idealistic thoughts.
The skeleton of movie goes on like this- Ali loosing the shoes which were repaired by him for Zahra, and both of them struggling to manage with the same pair of sneakers which Ali has.It happens like Zahra goes to school first , after which Ali will be attending school, so they could have managed with the same pair , but the long distance between their home and Ali's and Zahra's school puts them into difficulty and forces them to run to avoid getting late for school.These runs will not go waste at all, as these will be ending up as the practise sessions for the Ali's running 4km Marathon in which he decides to participate not to win a first prize of holiday camp for a family/ a second prize of something exicting like the first one, but to win a thirst position winning which one will be given a pair of sneakers:).
And best part is the end of the movie where Ali thinks of all the runnings of Zahra and runs ahead of all, but when he realizes he is becoming the first in the marathon he slows down intentionally just to become to third and win those sneakers for his little sis.
Few more cute scenes like Roya's jumping walk(who actually becomes the owner of Zahra's lost shoes) and Zahra's observation of each and everybody's shoes and showing anger on Ali are an added flavour for the sweet dish;).
With the pure and great intensions of these two children i would really say these are "Children from Heaven" - (Bacheha-Ye Aseman)
