Director(s) : Mano KHALIL

Synopsis

Syrian Muslims, Kurds and Jews live amicably together in a small village on the Turkish border. The arrival of a fanatical new teacher at the primary school, however, divides the community; people who had always supported each other start to mistrust their neighbors. 6-year-old Sero finds his own small world turned upside down; the teacher bans children from speaking Kurdish and insists on a collective veneration of the president, a petty but poisonous classroom dictatorship that director Mano Khalil depicts with a good deal of humour. Drawing on his own experience, he pays tribute to the good neighbours of his childhood.
