children of heaven
Last night we watched Children of Heaven which came via our Netflix subscription. This movie was about an Iranian boy who lost his sister's shoes and they have share a pair of shoes throughout the movie by meeting at opportune times during the day to trade for a pair of slippers. The boy tries to make money, and in the end runs a 4km race to try and win a pair of shoes awarded to the third place finisher. Unfortunately he comes in first and doesn't win the shoes, but his dad bought him and his sister each a new pair of shoes! I found the movie pretty flat and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The summary above is perhaps more exciting than watching the film.
