The only yearning 12-year-old Isa has is for his father to perceive him as a man – and men don’t cry. When Isa looses one of the poor familiy’s sheep, he and his little brother Hamid, must obey their father’s order and get the sheep back. On the top of the mountain Hamid becomes life-threatening hurt and Isa finds himself in a dilemma: Should he be a man and abide by his father’s order, or should he get his little brother down from the mountain as soon as he can?
