The life and the succeses of Kick boxer Farshad. He is banned from fighting in Iran, but it’s a suspension with no legal document. He decides to leave the country in order to save his career and have a successful comeback. Hidden wounds of wartime. They keep resurfacing in new forms. Children that never tasted a father’s love; a father whose body and mind has been compromised as a result of war and now mistreats his healthy son whose only passion is his sport. A new fight for life and health, for honor and homeland. Social problems and inequality are a new war for a young generation that in order to realize its dreams has no choice but to run “on foot in time.
