The Red Shoes

On the last day of the People Power Revolution in the Philippines in February 1986, 10-year-old Lucas Munozca finds himself swept up with a euphoric crowd that has entered the grounds of the Malacañang Presidential Palace. Lost in the tumult, Lucas stumbles into a room where the president's wife, Imelda Marcos, kept her infamous shoe collection. He plans to filch two pairs but only manages to steal one pair-for poetic justice and for love.
