[1][2][3][4] A blind boy named Mohammad is released from his special school in Tehran for summer vacation.

He attempts to hide the fact that his son is blind because he fears that the woman's family will see it as a bad omen.

He touches and feels the nature around him, displaying a unique attitude toward it and seeming to understand its rhythms and textures as a language.

He goes to the local school with his sisters and reads the lessons from the textbook in Braille, which amazes the other students and the teacher.

Fearing his bride-to-be's family will learn of Mohammad, Hashem takes him away and leaves him with a blind carpenter who agrees to make him an apprentice.

Sometime later, Hashem wakes up on the shore of the Caspian Sea and sees Mohammad lying motionless a short distance away.
