In 1940s Iran, with the world consumed by war and their own country under foreign occupation, two young orphans must flee to the rugged mountains. To survive and stay together, the older brother takes on his deceased father's role as a teacher for nomadic tribes, carrying their hopes and a chalkboard on his back. Their perilous journey becomes even more urgent when they encounter a Jewish boy on the run, forcing them all to find a way to communicate and trust one another amidst the chaos of global conflict. This is a powerful story for anyone who believes in the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring strength found in connection.
