Two twelve-year-old boys grow up together in a remote village in Ethiopia - until a single photo awakens big dreams in both of them and changes their lives forever: Solomon secretly leaves the village and heads for the urban jungle of Addis Ababa to become a photographer. Abdi, on the other hand, stays and trains. He wants to become a famous long-distance runner like Haile Gebrselassie. The two, who grew up like brothers, matured into men separately.
