Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Abu, 14, is his father's pride. Unlike his three brothers, he is the "top of his class". Well, that's what he would have you believe. In truth, Abu is, above all, the king of lies and fake school grades. When the first meeting of parents and teachers arrives, he is going to stage the biggest lie of his life: he is looking for false teachers among his acquaintances in the neighborhood to meet his real father, while his real teachers will meet a false father. |
