Synopsis:
Ten-year-old Japanese girl Sakura travels to Iran with her dad in order to pick up a Persian carpet designed by the girl’s recently deceased mother. Even though they are warmly welcomed at their destination, they are somewhat dismayed to discover that the production of the carpet has not even begun yet, even though it is to be presented at the Japanese festival in a mere twenty days. Realizing how much it means to the young girl and her father, the eleven-year-old Ruzbeh does everything in his power to encourage the local workers to finish the carpet in time.
