Summary
Mohammad joyfully returns to his tiny village on summer vacation from the Institute for the Blind in Tehran, unaware of his widowed father's intentions to disown him in order to win the hand and dowry of a local woman. Engaged to be married, the widowed man has kept Mohammad a secret from his fiancée, certain the boy's disability will destroy his only chance for happiness. With the wedding swiftly approaching, Mohammad's future hangs precariously in the balance as his father struggles against his destiny, unable to see the wonder of life and love that is so clear to his son
