Ali is perceived by his family and the people of the beautiful Saudi Arabian mountain
village where he lives, Alwadi, as having a
disability. Only his older sister Siham
recognises that his difference is part of him; she sees him as perfect as he is. While
Siham is away in the city studying at university, where she hopes to get a degree and
then a job that will help haul her family o
ut of poverty, their father, Nasser, decides to
take Ali to a folk doctor in the valley below to be “cured”. During the journey, Ali gets lost
in the middle of nowhere. Alone, he starts a new journey of his own, discovering that he
can deal with fresh chal
lenges in life as well as anyone else. An uplifting, emotional and
enjoyable tale about how our perceived inadequacies can be our strengths
