Sero is extremely fond of his neighbors, the last Jewish family in a village where Jews and Kurds once coexisted peacefully but where rising tensions have caused all the other Jews to flee. When he begins his first year of Arabic school, Sero is inundated with the fiery nationalism of a new teacher who demands that the Arabic language replace Kurdish in the home and propagates anti-Semitism to his impressionable charges. Sero struggles to resist the dangerous ideology, while his fellow students embrace these ideas to the detriment of the warmhearted Jews they’ve lived alongside all their lives. <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/eventive-static/5502d305e6b5aefd6ea9fe74a4c7e1ba.jpg" style="max-width: 100%;">
