Historia de un alumno que busca la casa de un compañero para devolverle su cuaderno. En la escuela del pueblo de Koker, al norte de Irán, Mohamed no ha hecho los ejercicios en el cuaderno y el profesor le amenaza con la expulsión si vuelve a repetir la misma falta. Esa misma tarde, su compañero, Ahmed, toma por equivocación el cuaderno de Mohamed y cuando decide ir a buscar la casa de su amigo para devolvérselo, se pierde en la noche. Un canto a la solidaridad protagonizada por un niño, capaz de atravesar a pie kilómetros de campos en mitad de la noche por evitar el mal de su compañero.

Kiarostami presents two cases for talking heads to evaluate in terms of morality, rights and responsibilities. Case One: Your son is in class, sitting in the back row. His teacher is writing on the board. A restless student in the back row makes a lot of noise. Not knowing who the culprit is, the teacher makes all the children sitting in the last two rows stay outside of the class until the weekend, unless they tell him who made the noise. After a few days spent outside of the classroom, your son relents and tattles on the boy who made the noise, so he can go back in and continue learning. Was he in the right? Case Two: The other students from the back row wait out the rest of the week outside of the class, before returning. Were they in the right?
