Dirty slums, a refugee couple raising a room full of children and continuing to "create" new lives.
12-year-old Zane grew up in such an environment. He had no opportunity to receive education, and needed to work part-time to subsidize the family. After his sister became menarche, her parents gave it to the landlord's son as a commodity. Unable to stop, after running away from home in anger, he met a Rahil with a false certificate who was raising his son independently and took him in. In that house surrounded by broken iron, perhaps the only bright color in his life, he saw cartoons, ate cakes, and saw how a mother showed her love to her children.
In the second half, after Rahil was arrested for a black household, Zane took care of Yonas alone. He was too thin to hold Yonas, and could only drag him around with a homemade trailer. And then went the way of his parents, selling laced drinks and even yonas in the end. He wanted to go to Sweden, but without identification, his sister had died, and he couldn't escape the despairing environment for him. Why should I be home, why should I be born, why should I live and grow up. He sued his parents and questioned them, however, with no satisfactory answer.
Luckily, he was chosen by the director to be the protagonist and was able to improve the fate of his family. But he was unfortunate, because his parents didn't realize their own problems in the end.
He got a new home, but what about more kids like him?
