Synopsis
Mohammad is an 8-year-old blind boy who lives in a school for blind children in Tehran. When summer comes, he is the last to be collected, but his poor, coalminer father eventually claims him and returns to his village. The countryside is magical, with fields full of colorful flowers, making Mohammad happy even though he cannot see them.
