Homerun (跑吧！孩子)

A remake of the Iranian film Children of Heaven, Jack Neo's Homerun is set in 1965 Singapore, and tells the story of children living in a kampong, and a lost pair of shoes. The film has themes ranging from friendship and kinship, to the political relations between Singapore and Malaysia, to socio-economic relationships between the rich and poor in the old Singapore. Megan Zheng, the actress playing the lead female character, a ten year old girl, became the first Singaporean to win a Golden Horse.
