In a primary school in a remote mountain village in Iran, a group of children listen to a teacher in class. While checking his homework, the teacher found that Muhammad had repeatedly failed to complete his homework, so he severely criticized him, saying that if he committed another crime, he would be expelled immediately. The teacher emphasizes to the students that this is to help them establish good rules.
After school that day, the little boy Amud found himself bringing home his homework notebook from the same table Ashd. Having understood the teacher's temptation, Amud understood that this assignment was the proof that Muhand would continue to listen. In order to return the homework book to the table, Amud had hoped that his mother and grandfather could help, but both failed.
Therefore, he could only go alone, to the village in the opposite mountain to find the same table and return the homework book. However, because he did not know the home of the same table, he ran into walls everywhere and encountered unimaginable difficulties and obstacles...
Key Words: Humanistic Care Adult World Children
