Wales One World filmfest hosts ‘Sun Children’

Iranian film ‘Sun Children’ is currently being screened at the Wales One World Film Festival.

The 2022 edition of the British event is hosting Majid Majidi’s award-winning movie.

The 99-minute movie, represents Iran from March 2-8, 2022.

‘Sun Children’ tells the story of a 12-year-old boy and his three friends. They work quite hard to financially support their needy families while they sometimes commit petty crimes to make easy money.

Everything changes, however, when one of them is entrusted to find a hidden treasure underground, but he must first enroll at the Sun (Khorshid) School, a charitable institution that tries to educate street kids and children suffering child labor.

The movie is a depiction of the contrast between the world of children and adults, which is clearly shown by the children and the path they are about to take to become grown-ups.

The film represents the lack of education and repressive attitudes that deprive these children of their childhood.

In this regard, special attention has been paid to the issue of playing which normally defines a part of childhood.

WOW "Wales One World" Film Festival is a small festival from Wales that started 20 years ago.

They curate eye-opening world cinema so you can experience the weird, wild, wonderful world we live in.

The 2022 edition of the event is currently underway from February 25 and will end on March 13.
