Ali Nasirian

A "visual and narrative delight" (Boston Globe), Mohammad . Moored near the Persian coast, a derelict oil tanker has become a home for cast-off members of Iran's Sunni-Arab minority. But when the ship's owners announce they intend to sell Nemat's fiefdom for scrap, the captain must provide his people with a future, while preserving the peace and upholding the law in the present.

In order to gain access to a hidden underground treasure, Ali and his three friends enroll at a school that educates street kids and child laborers.
