Amir is a five-year-old boy with three brother and sisters. His bright smile and lively eyes charms everyone around him. The family has been displaced several times but has now returned to their original home, which is partially in ruins. The room they now are living has three intact walls, while the fourth wall has been replaced by a large curtain.
