Synopsis

Chamandi Charqala-e-Wazir Abad primary school functions under tents, almost in the open air, with no furniture. We follow a class of charming little pests and their young teacher who has a hard time with them but obviously loves his little girls. Having to be a part-time shopkeeper to make a living, does not lessen his enthusiasm for his job as a teacher.
