I first saw an ad about the movie The Red Shoes in Facebook. I clicked on the link to find out some info about the movie. I was really under the impression that it is a foreign film. Lo and behold!

The site provided a brief description of the story.
In 1986, ten-year old Lucas Munozca catches sight of the First Lady’s 3000 pairs of shoes and steals a lovely red pair. He gives one shoe to his childhood sweetheart, while he gives the other to his widowed mother. In 2006, Lucas is stuck with one kind of footwear. He too, is stuck with his past, unable to move on from losing the love of his life.
