Children of Heaven 1997
Just make sure you have some tissues ready to wipe your tears.
Realism and humanism play a significant role in this film, and conveying these themes through children makes them even more impactful. The movie beautifully portrays grand human values, such as in the scene where Zahra and Ali realize that Roya's father is blind. Despite their own struggles, they choose not to take the shoes from her, demonstrating the generosity and compassion of children in society. The cinematography, particularly the frames and static shots, are exceptional. This is a film that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime.

Having watched films like Kantara, I find this subject fascinating. While there are several good films on this theme, Maadathy stands out…
