CHILDREN OF HEAVEN (1997)

Ali is a nine year old from a  very poor family who has just lost repaired shoes that belong to his sister while helping his family.  In shame he explains this to his younger sister, Zohra, who threatens to tell their father about the lost shoes. Ali understands the dilemma better then Zohra, and he explains that they both will be beat by their father if he finds out.  They come up with a new idea on how to avoid their fathers wrath; however, this idea leads to new problems outside the family.  Children of Heaven has a depressing impact on the audience; nevertheless, the cinematic experience is awesome.
