Mohammad is a boy at Tehran’s institute for the blind. Long after the other children have been collected for their summer vacation, Mohammad waits for his father while he rescues a baby bird from a cat and returns it to its mother. When his father arrives it is clear he wants Mohammad out of the way to facilitate his marriage to a beautiful young woman. He sends Mohammad far away to work with a blind carpenter. Can anything bring father and son together?
