Little Shoes

Ali (Amir Farrokh), a boy from a poor family Hashemian accidentally lost the shoes when he helped his sister Zahra (Bahare Seddiqi) to pick up the repaired shoes. In order not to be punished by his father (Mohammad Amir Naji) and mother (Fereshte Sarabandi), he begged Zahra to keep it secret for the time being, saying that they could wear his shoes to school instead, and promised to help her buy a new pair of shoes. Ali originally expected to use the money he and his father earned from working in the city to buy a new pair of shoes for Zahra, but his father's accidental injury put an end to his dream. When he saw that the prize for the third place in the national long-distance running competition was a pair of sneakers, Ali decided to participate in the competition, but he missed the registration date. After much pleading, the teacher (Dariush Mokhtari) made an exception and allowed the outstanding Ali to participate in the competition. On the competition field, Ali kept reminding himself that he must get third place!
