The story

Set in a Kurdish village on the Syrian–Turkish border, the film follows Sero, an innocent young boy. At age six he enters school for the first time, taught by a new teacher sent by the Ba’athist regime. The village school becomes an instrument of propaganda, with the children forced to speak Arabic; Kurdish language and culture are suppressed, and the children are taught to denounce Israel and praise the president.
