Synopsis
Pre-school is the first and last time boys and girls can learn together freely before entering the strictly segregated education system in Iran. Six-year-old Roham plays the often-silent witness to the actions unfurling around him. As his curiosity grows, the complicated real lives of the other pupils start to unravel. As Roham’s relationships develop with the class bully and quiet Rana, he stumbles across disturbing secrets that split open his innocent world.
