These boys are intellectually disabled and abandoned by their families. Dada is a man on a ceaseless war against destiny. With his rock solid will and a heart as deep as the ocean, he has taught the 70 inmates of the home, to help each other to survive. They take their own bath, eat, study and play together. The boys have built a team to fight against all odds. They share a special kind of bond with each other and of course, with Dada.
