SYNOPSIS

A young refugee boy from Iraqi living in Jordan is forced to clean shoe in order to support his widowed mother and little sister.

Nine year old Iraqi refugee Mohamed dreams to be a regular kid – instead he is a reluctant shoecleaner working the busy streets of Amman to support his family and earn enough money to buy his widowed mother's medicine and send his young sister Reem to school.

Mohamed can only dream of school and when his bitterness get's the better of him and Reem runs away, will his childish innocence be enough to save the day.
