A young boy living on his own by the Persian Gulf, Amiro has learned to survive at a very early age. As he dreams of new horizons, he’d love to follow planes and cargo ships. He wants to make it, and is aware that he has to fight and most importantly run and run again. He has two races to do – one to make a living and the other – a spiritual one – to get educated.
