Spain to host Majid Majidi’s ‘Sun Children’

Acclaimed Iranian feature film ‘Sun Children’ is slated to hit silver screens in Spain.

Majid Majidi’s award-winning flick will have public screenings in Spanish cinemas from May 14, 2021.

‘Sun Children’ tells the story of four child laborers who are led by Ali, a driven and voracious young boy. Ali masterminds petty crimes to commit with his friends besides working worthless jobs to survive.

Everything begins with Ali being taken on by a criminal head to find an underground treasure that is laid underneath a school that gives second chances to youth like the four friends.

When they enroll in the school to retrieve the treasure, something starts to change in them due to the ambiance of the place and the good-hearted school staff.

The film, that has already toured various film events and grabbed several awards, has been Iran’s representative at the 2021 Oscars.

Notable on the cast list are Javad Ezzati, Ali Nassiriyan, and Tannaz Tabatabaee.
