A tender, melancholic portrait of two homeless brothers bound by love and shared dreams, chasing an impossible hope through the lens of childhood wonder.

Two shoeshiner homeless brothers named Zana and Dana live on the edge of survival. They catch a glimpse of Superman through a hole in the wall at the local cinema and decide that they want to go to America in order to meet Superman.
