Three ten-year-olds embark on a transformative journey to Cairo for the prestigious International Holy Koran Competition. Hailing from Senegal, Tajikistan, and the Maldives, these gifted children have memorized the entire 600-page Koran, but they face intense pressure competing against older, more experienced rivals. As they navigate the challenges of this high-stakes event, they reveal their personal struggles, caught between differing interpretations of Islam. Through candid conversations about their recitation methods and the emotions fueling their performances, the documentary captures both their passion and the profound uncertainties that lie ahead.
