Overview: Bahman, Mahtab, Ramin and Donya Mehdipour are enjoying a perfect summer in a small Finnish town.

But life must go on and the 13-year-old Ramin is about to enter an entirely new school, junior high. The Mehdipours use their last chance to appeal but continue their everyday lives, fuelled by their exceptionally positive outlook and attitude.
