Plot

11 year old boy in Masjed Soleyman, the southern Iranian oil center, is trying to earn a living with his mother and two sisters. Eight months after they last heard from his father who left for Kuwait as a temporary worker, they still owe money to a local man who holds their mule as collateral on his fathers loan. The interest is mounting and the man wants the 12 year old sister as his wife in exchange. The son tries a variety of ways to make money, including offloading concrete bags, taking back the mule to carry skimmed oil, and stealing flowers to sell on mourning day. Desperate to make enough to pay off the whole debt, the son bets with the local oil workers kids, that he can walk across a ravine on a high oil pipeline without falling.
