劇情簡介：

Ali takes his little sister Zahra's shoes to the shoemaker to be repaired but loses them on the way home. The siblings decide to keep this a secret from their parents out of fear of punishment and knowing that there is no money to buy a replacement. They devise a plan to share Ali's sneakers: Zahra will wear them in the morning and hand them to Ali at midday so he can attend afternoon classes. Ali then enters a high-profile children's racing competition in hopes of receiving the third-prize, a new pair of sneakers.
阿里拿妹妹扎赫拉的鞋子到鞋匠那里修補，但卻在返家途中把鞋子丟了。兄妹倆決定保守這個秘密不讓父母知道，他們害怕受到懲罰，也知道家里沒錢買新鞋子。他們想出了一個辦法，輪流穿阿里的鞋：扎赫拉早上穿，中午還給阿里，這樣他就可以下午去上課了。之后阿里參加了一個備受矚目的兒童長跑比賽，希望能取得三等獎——一雙新鞋子。
