The story of the film is based on the best-selling book "The Long Way Home". The 5-year-old Saro and his brother were separated when they went out. In order to find his brother, Saro mistakenly got on an unmanned truck from India to neighboring Bangladesh. Little Salo, who was wandering far away from home, felt genuine despair and helplessness. Later, he went to a welfare shelter and was adopted by Tony and Nicole in Australia. After more than 20 years, Salo, who grew up in a superior environment, was suddenly awakened by the memory in his heart and began his long journey home. He experienced inner struggles, and finally, he activated the sleeping lion with his family affection, and finally set foot on the road back to his hometown and embarked on the journey of realizing his dream. The most sincere and selfless maternal love of the two mothers, Salo's adoptive mother and biological mother, is Salo's solid backing and the power to awaken the lion in his heart.
