The film tells the story of Kiran, who lives with his mother in a yurt in the Pyrenees. Kiran is eight years old and knows how to plant salad, which meadow plants taste good and which should better not be eaten. But he has no idea what is on TV in the evening and does not know how to use a computer. His greatest wish is to go to a public school to learn how to read and write at last.
