Hasani who is an orphan is living with his little sister Goldouneh in an orphanage. One day a couple come there to adopt a child. They chose Goldouneh but Hasani who believes that their father is somewhere waiting for them is refusing. On a rainy night he with his sister escape from the orphanage and lost in the streets. Because of hunger they go to a closed restaurant and ask for food. They give them some food but the smell of it absorbs all the hungry kittens from the suburbs. The cats steal their food but one valiant cat of them defends Hasani and his sister. Little by little a strong friendship is bounding between them.—Ibrahim

This film from the accomplished Kambuzia Partovi is partly set in an orphanage in Tehran. The film centres around a young boy and his sister - who together attempt a perilous escape from the orphanage after a married couple arrive to adopt the sister. Like the brother-and-sister pair in Majid Majidi's highly acclaimed 'Children of Heaven', the young sibling duo must learn to grow up quickly and act like adults. Once outside the walls and beyond the clutches of the orphanage, the children enter a strange world. There they encounter cats that behave and exhibit the characteristics of human beings.—IMVBox.com
