The film depicts about an unemployed youth having a passion to reach out unprivileged ones. Global employment crisis badly effects our current community. It more affects developing countries because there are less competitive jobs available.

Instead of giving a shot-term solution to the current problem, why not invest in the future? The youth is the future. The beginning of tomorrow starts in each one of us. By giving education to the unprivileged children, little by little, we are giving hope and open a shed of light to give a decent work for youth in the future. The education is the key to rightfully mold each country's development and prosperity.
