Drama
The film is set in the Kurds refugee camp on the Iraqi-Turkey border on the eve of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Thirteen-year-old Satellite (Soran Ebrahim) is known for his installation of dishes and Antenna (radio) (for local villages who are looking for news of Saddam Hussein) and for his limited knowledge of English language. He is the dynamic, but Psychological manipulation leader of the children, organizing the dangerous but necessary sweeping and clearing of the land mine. Many of these children are injured one way or the other, yet still maintain a boisterous prattle whenever possible, devoted to their work in spite of the vagaries of their life.
