Children of Heaven is a tender little Iranian film about honor and love between young siblings. The story concerns 9-year old Ali (Mir Farrokh Hashemian) and his 7-year old sister, Zahra (Bahare Seddigi).
They are the only children of a poor Iranian family, whom we watch casually as they go about their daily chores and routines. Ali has just taken his sister’s falling-apart pink shoes to the local cobbler for repair. On the way home, he stops at a vegetable stand, where the shoes are inadvertantly taken by a street peddlar.
Ali searches frantically for the shoes, to no avail, and returns home desolate to tell Zahra. Zahra is alarmed, because she has no other shoes to wear to school. Not wanting to alarm their parents, they hit upon a scheme to share Ali’s sneakers, in shifts. Unfortunately, fate conspires against them in myriad ways, and it becomes more and more difficult to keep up their charade.
