Synopsis

Najan is a deaf child who can only hear with a hearing aid. One day, he is taken to the forest by his brother and his friends. Najan’s brother who blames him for the death of their mother and the remarrying of their father, falsely claims that he has found a tree that makes wishes come true. He uses that as an excuse to take away Najan’s hearing aid in exchange for Najan making a wish. Najan’s brother abandons him in the forest but soon it becomes clear that the tree does in fact, make wishes come true. The guys in fear of Najan’s wish coming true, return to the forest to find him but Najan who’s so immersed in the sounds of the forest, chooses not to hear their voices.
