Title: a beautiful , quiet story from a child's point of view
Product review: Children of heaven really does show children at their innocent, honest best. When young Ali loses his sister Zahra's shoes through a mishap, they both go to lengths to hide the loss from their debt-plagued parents. Zahra goes to school in the morning with Ali's shoes, and rushes home to give the shoes to Ali so he can go to school. This film gives those of us who are lucky enough to live in more prosperous cultures good perspective: even one pair of shoes is of essential importance. Without this, the children cannot go to school.Ali shows amazing responsibility, blowing off playing soccer with his friends so that he can keep up his charade with Zahra. The film also has beautiful moments, such as when Ali and his father tend the garden of an older man in the rich part of town.Highly recommended: a thought-provoking view into both the world of Tehran and the world of childhood.
