13-year-old Mohammad goes to the police station to complain about his dad who frequently beats him and his little sister. He tells the police he wants to sue his father, the local locksmith. Although Mohammad is encouraged by his granny and his dad’s family, the police officer does not accept his words and makes him take back his complaint.
