Ali takes his sister Zahra’s repaired shoes but loses them while returning home. He knows that his family is struggling financially and fears that his parents cannot buy another pair.
Ali and Zahra develop a secret arrangement: he gives her his shoes after school and she returns them so he can wear them. Their daily routine becomes difficult and stressful.
Ali eventually learns about a race in which a prize could provide him with shoes. He runs with determination, driven not by personal ambition but by his desire to help his sister.
