In the bustling streets of ancient Jerusalem, a thin, hungry boy named Tor ekes out a precarious existence among the dust‑filled alleys and relentless sparrows. When a blind beggar’s desperate pleas are interrupted by a sudden accusation of theft, Tor’s quick wit and daring thrust him into a tense confrontation that could change his fate. A mysterious stranger watches the drama unfold, offering a glimpse of a world beyond the boy’s daily scramble for food.
