The Foreign Shoes 2025

One small dream. One big disappointment. Endless wonder.

Directed by Atena Karimpour

A seven-year-old boy eagerly awaits the football shoes his father promised to bring him from abroad. But when he opens the suitcase, he finds an unrelated pair of men’s shoes instead. The boy’s innocent attempts to turn those shoes into the football boots he had dreamed of lead him into a series of bittersweet and humorous adventures.
