Synopsis:

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 trying to find a lost pair of shoes. With themes ranging from friendship and kinship, to the political relations between Singapore and Malaysia, to socio-economic relationships between the rich and poor, this film is a window into the past, of the old Singapore just after independence.
