When her brother loses a little girl's shoes, the two siblings decide to share his pair of runners, trading off in a mad rush each day so she can use them in her morning school and he can use them in the afternoon when his classes begins. All this frantic scurrying turns the boy into a superb long distant runner, and he puts his talents to work when he finds out that second prize in a long distance race is a new pair of runners! This is the first Iranian film to be nominated for the Best Foreign Film Oscar. However its slow start and very abrupt ending may put off those not used to foreign films. Others will find it an intriguing slice of Iranian life.
