I’ve seen this film just last night and it really hit me! I’m not a film critic but I think this writing will be a challenge for me. A film shown approximately 3 years ago by Jack Neo Films. It was an adaptation from the award winning film “Children of Heaven.” An originally Iranian film with a Singaporean remake.

The story evolved about the struggles of siblings who proved their great determination, love for each other and love for their parents. They were surrounded with friends, good friends, not just like a classmates or playmates but true friends that were with them all the way in achieving their goal… to get a new pair of shoes… My heart almost cried when Ah Kun tried his very best to win the 5-km run to win third place with a new pair of shoes as the prize… my heart goes same with her younger sister who went to cry for help for her mother who’s about to give birth. She ran out of a street with pieces of broken glassess and bottles on bare foot! She ignored the pain, the wounds that it would cause her. She only thinks that her mom is crying in pain, screaming.

Below a synopsis I’ve researched from the net. Well, all I can say is enjoy reading and feeling the emotions of the story. But I still suggest you tried to get a copy of this movie and you’ll surely be inspired and would love to share it with your family and friends… My rating is 5 STARS!!!! (parang feeling professional movie critic talaga ang dating noh?!) hehe!
