Synopsys
Rayan is a 14-years old teenager. He lives alone on the territory of dried Aral Sea. He used to have a lovely mother. They enjoyed walking along the beach, watching ships and talk. When Rayan was five, his mother died in front of him in a car crash. Rayan also witnessed the death of the Aral Sea. "The sea was gone with mother." Rayan is missing his mother and still goes to the former beach, but there he sees sand instead of water and a rotten ship.One day Rayan is being told at a hospital that he is sick with a life-threatening disease. There is a cure, but little chance that Rayan receives quota for a free surgery from the state and he does not have money for regular surgery. Waiting line for quota is long but Rayan only has 2-3 months left to live.
