Sun Children
‘It has guts and heart and a grubby, street-smart charisma.’
Twelve-year-old Ali and his three friends work hard to survive on the streets of Tehran. When he’s not scheming to acquire a few rial, Ali’s often running errands for the neighbourhood boss, who convinces him to dig for hidden treasure under the local school. But first Ali and his gang have to enrol at this struggling charitable institution that tries to educate street kids and child labourers.
There are elements of prison-break drama, knock-about school comedy and far-fetched heist in this stereotype-buster of a film that’s not afraid to take on social issues amidst the high-jinx. Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi and his cast of mostly non-actors take you on a thrilling ride in what is ultimately a unique story of courage and survival.
