With the help of a superhero from his imagination, Jeem brings a ceasefire to his shattered city, befriends other children and mocks armed militiamen. But as the ceasefire collapses, he must return home and face his deepest fear. Through Jeem's eyes, we witness the heavy toll of war on children and how a child's imagination becomes an act of resistance.
