In this Oscar-nominated Iranian drama from filmmaker Majid Majidi, a young boy (Amir Farrokh Hashemian)



accidentally loses his sister's (Bahare Seddiqi)



shoes and just share his own sneakers with her in a sort of relay while each attends school at different times during the day. The boy ultimately enters a much-publicized foot race in hopes of placing third and taking home the prize: a new pair of sneakers.



Rated PG 1 hour 29 minutes 1997

4.38 stars (Dale-4.75, David-4) Really amazing film and a very beautiful story about a sibling relationship that is built on love, care, and respect. These little ones sure can teach us a valuable lesson. Would have given it 5 stars but the end was a little weird. An interesting look into Iranian Culture.
