Two siblings, Ali and Zahra, who agreed to keep the matter of Zahra's missing shoes a secret, which Ali had brought in for repair. To solve the problem, they decided to share Ali's worn-out shoes. Zahra would wear them in the morning during her school schedule, and after returning home, she would run as fast as she could so Ali could wear them to school in the afternoon. New hope emerged when Ali learned of an inter-school running competition with a prize of a pair of shoes for the third-place winner. Ali signed up, determined to win the competition so he could buy Zahra new shoes.
