Movie description:
The villagers who have lost their shepherd in an accident, are looking for a shepherd in the neighbouring village. Alimorad and his sister Robab accept the duties of looking after the herd, though the villagers believe that they are too young and incapable for the job. When they ask Alimorad to take a mule to the forest and leave it at the mercy of the wolves, he is forced to tell a lie!
An orphaned brother and sister are hired by a mean farmer and his kindly wife to look after the village’s sheep. The villagers wanted a real shepherd, but soon trust the hard-working children–until things take a turn for the worse when the boy looks after an old donkey instead of leaving it to die.
With a storybook feel and stunning locations in rural Iran, the film shows how sometimes adults have a lot to learn from children about the meaning of compassion.
