A small village on the Syrian-Turkish border in the early 1980s: Six-year-old Kurdish boy Sero experiences his first school year in an Arab school and has to watch as his small world is radically changed by absurd nationalism. With a fine sense of humour and satire, Mano Khalil's new film tells the story of a childhood that also has some light moments under the Assad dictatorship.
