Plot Summary: Firooz is a 7-year-old boy who lost his father during his early childhood and lives with his mother in a remote village. One night, his mother tells him the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. He finds the Beanstalk a way to save her mother from work and doing laundry. Firooz thinks he could sell his cow, get the magic bean and plant it in their yard…

Director’s Note: The old tales of the world and the ritual atmosphere of Khorasan region are a miraculous mix to provide a beautiful and pleasant image for children and young adults. We believe the puppet show is the best way to present these masterpieces.
