A little village on the Syrian-Turkish border in the early 80’s: A six-year old Kurdish boy experiences his first year in an Arab school and sees how his little world is radically changed by absurd nationalism. With a fine sense of humor and satire, the film tells of a childhood, which, between dictatorship and dark drama, also has its light moments. How much friendship, love and solidarity are possible in times of repression and despotism?

Starring: Sehed Khalil, Jalal Altawil, Jay Abdo, Tuna Dwek
