Short description

In the ancient city of Kano, a gifted almajiri defies poverty and dogma in pursuit of education, risking everything to become a tech engineer. Raised on scripture and survival, Rabiu's extraordinary mind cannot stay hidden. When a teacher sees his genius and fights for his future, he must choose between the only world he knows and the one he was born to build.
