Twelve-year-old Ali lives with his mother and sister. When not at school, he works at a tyre repair shop, giving his weekly wage to his mother to help cover the family’s living expenses, and saving the tips he gets every now and then to buy himself a blue bicycle. When the semester holiday ends and school begins, Ali is very happy that he will see Elif, his platonic love of five years, more often. A very bright student, Elif is the school president. On the first day of school, however, the headmaster appoints another student as interim school president. Ali believes that Elif has been unfairly relieved of her role, so he decides to put all the money he had put aside for the bicycle into a campaign to reinstate her.
