Figli del sole

Iran's submission to the 93rd Academy Awards makes clear that the people in the US actually have a lot in common with the people of Iran. Majid Majidi's "Khorshid" ("Sun Children" in English) is about a school that helps underprivileged children, and some students who hear of treasure buried underneath the school. Meanwhile, the people running the school have to contend with paying rent. Sound familiar to the predicaments faced by millions in the US?

An impressive movie, and one that shows our common humanity (like in the US, the Iranians have to deal with a government that ignores their needs). I hope to see more movies by Majidi.

Majid Majidi is a great director. The movie is great. Choosing the characters shows the wisdom of te director. The story focuses on children from bad families and their problems. It's a time to think about it.

Enough to grab the attention of any young boy, here it's lads from Iran as a modern day Fagin encourages the innocent to dig for glory to free themselves from poverty, but all is not what it seems.

A story of a friendship like a treasure. You choose to find material treasure but you lose the real treasure near you. In this movie first you laugh then you cry.

Beautiful movie about finding the real treasure (pun intended).
