Ein kleines Dorf an der syrisch-türkischen Grenze in den frühen 1980er Jahren: Der sechsjährige Kurdenjunge Sero erlebt sein erstes Schuljahr in einer arabischen Schule und muss zusehen, wie seine kleine Welt im Zuge eines absurden Nationalismus radikal verändert wird. Humoristisch und doch ernsthaft erzählt der Film von einer Kindheit, die zwischen Diktatur und dunklem Drama auch ihre leichten Momente findet.
