The film tells the true story of an Afghan family that fled to Iran because of the war in Afghanistan. The focus is on eight-year-old Meena, who wants to go to school to become a doctor. However, this dream seems impossible to achieve due to the laws in Iran. Her father Ferhad tries, through sacrifice, courage, and love, to make Meena’s goal possible despite the obstacles.

Hello, I’m Morteza Nikqadam, I come from Afghanistan and I’m 27 years old. I’ve been in Germany for three years. I’m currently training to become a bespoke tailor for men and I work at the Munich Volkstheater. During the communist era, my father had to leave Afghanistan and fled to Iran. That’s where he met my mother. I was born and raised in Iran. I’ve been to Afghanistan a few times. My family tried to build a new life for us. With every attempt, we faced many difficulties. I always asked myself why... but I never really understood the true reason. Afghanistan is a diverse country. There are many different languages, ethnic groups, and a rich culture, so people could live together peacefully. But there is war — and it has been going on for years. So many people have been killed, have lost everything, or have been forced to flee. But the coin has another side too: hope.
