For Maruge (Oliver Litondo), learning is the happiest thing in his life. However, at the age of 84, he can no longer relive the happy times in the classroom. Kenya's free education policy has given Maruge new hope, and he hopes to be one of the many students who benefit. Maruge's persistence and enthusiasm moved teacher Jane (Naomie Harris), but failed to move school staff and parents. For such a retired soldier to return to the classroom surrounded by a group of children, the voices of opposition were unified and loud. At the same time, Jane was punished for her support for Maruge. Seeing that the kind people who helped him suffered unfair treatment, the angry Maruge decided not to give in. He wanted to challenge the rigid government.
