About the Film
When an ostrich rancher focuses on replacing his daughter's hearing aid, which breaks right before crucial exams, everything changes for a struggling rural family in Iran. Karim motorbikes into a world alien to him: incredibly hectic Tehran, where sudden opportunities for independence thrill and challenge him. His honor and honesty are tested as he stumbles among vast cultural and economic gaps between his village nestled in the desert and a bustling international metropolis.
